Alpkit Foundation
Details
The Alpkit Foundation make small awards to people, groups and schools that work to remove the barriers in getting outdoors and experience wild places.
They want to support projects that encourage responsible outdoor activity; have long lasting benefits; introduce new people to get outdoors; demonstrate value for money
So this might include such things as;
- Providing discounted equipment for outdoor adventures and trips to individuals, groups, schools and organisations that wouldn’t be viable without support from the Alpkit Foundation.
- Support outdoor educational programs; e.g. grants for outdoor First Aiders or Mountain Leader Training.
- Support proactive conservation and environmental projects; e.g. community gardens and allotments or grants to help re-wild woodland and protect our wild places.
- Support projects which encourage the development of facilities for outdoor skills and activities to be experienced by wider groups who otherwise may miss out e.g. cycling, climbing, outdoor swimming facilities.
