Connecting children and wildlife
In 2016, NWT Vice President John Snape set up our Children and Nature Fund with a focus on projects that enabled children to learn about and experience the natural world.
With donations from individuals, businesses and trusts, the fund has helped to deliver projects that connect children of all ages with wildlife and wild spaces through education, activities and inspiration. This has included working with the Food Bank to provide nature activities as part of Food and Fun in the School Holidays (FISH), and our flagship project, a Sure Start with Nature which offered indoor and outdoor nature-focused activities at Sure Start Children’s Centres in Great Yarmouth, Thetford, and Corpusty.
Our vision is that locality, cost, access to transport, mobility, or ethnicity should never be a barrier to accessing green spaces and that all children and young people, regardless of background, can experience nature.
With your support we can grow our impact and create even more opportunities for Norfolk’s children and young people, to inspire a love of nature in the next generation.
Thank you for your support!
