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 give awards to tackle issues such as diversity and inclusion in the outdoors, participation, education, conservation and protection of our natural environment and health and wellbeing.

They want to support projects that encourage responsible outdoor activity; have long lasting benefits; introduce new people to get outdoors; and demonstrate value for money.

For example:

• Diversity, Participation and Inclusion Projects that engage individuals and groups from a diverse range of backgrounds with the outdoors.
• Environmental Projects that seek to support, rewild, conserve, or generate understanding of our environment and wild places.
• Health and Wellbeing Projects enabling people to gain physical and mental wellbeing from the Great Outdoors.
• Education Projects which encourage the development of outdoor skills and activities to be experiences by wider groups. Such as Hill and Moorland / Mountain Leader, First Aid, D of E, Community focused Forest Schools.
