Wild Ingleborough: Access to Nature Fund

Open for applications until the 23rd March 2025

At the heart of the Wild Ingleborough partnership is a shared commitment to ensuring that the beauty and benefits of this iconic Yorkshire Dales landscape are accessible to all. The Access to Nature Fund is one of the ways we're making this vision a reality.

Now open for applications for the 3rd year, the fund offers support to groups in communities who face barriers to accessing Ingleborough and its surrounding areas. By helping eligible groups plan meaningful trips, we aim to help participants develop a deeper connection to the landscape and the natural world.

With grants of up to £1,500 available per group, we are empowering communities to experience the wild beauty of the area, building opportunities for engagement, education, and a lasting appreciation of nature.

If you are interested in applying please download the supporting documents below, and then complete the pre-application questionnaire. This will help us determine what assistance you may need during the application process.
