How we are funded
We work in partnership with a wide range of supporters, partners and funders.
Achieving our vision is challenging given the growing pressures on our environment, resource constraints, and changes to the legislative and regulatory framework that the Trust operates within.
We draw on a variety of funding sources to cover the costs of conservation projects, education and awareness work, as well as managing our network of nature reserves. In order to do this we receive two types of funding: restricted and unrestricted.

Restricted Income
We are delighted to work in partnership with a wide range of supporters, partners and funders.
However, restricted income is becoming more difficult to secure, in part due to cuts in public sector funding but also because of increased competition.
We have been successful in securing restricted funds from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the National Lottery Community Fund, Natural England, Local Authorities and charitable trusts and foundations.
