Partners
Growing Communities supports inspirational outdoor projects making a real difference.
We’re committed to helping outdoor projects make lasting change in their communities. In addition to our Awards Programme we are proud to have built partnerships with a handful of organisations who are key partners to the Growing Communities programme. We’re proud to back them with larger grants.
