National Lottery Community Fund
Accessing nature in both urban and rural settings can be a challenge. Thanks to grants from the National Lottery Communities Fund, whether people live in busy cities or in remote countryside locations, we can bring nature to their doorsteps.

Giving Nature a Home in Cardiff
We’ve partnered with City of Cardiff Council and Buglife Cymru on Giving Nature a Home in Cardiff – a project that’s helping thousands of young people, families and communities to spend more time with nature in the Welsh capital.
Since its creation in 2014, the project has delivered nature sessions to 87% of primary schools in Cardiff. By delivering workshops in parks and other green spaces, the team has helped pupils at schools with no green space connect with nature. So far, the project has provided 5,428 nature connections for children in primary schools and early years settings, while launching over 100 events for families in Cardiff's parks.
Vibrant Vyrnwy
Vibrant Vyrnwy is a partnership between the RSPB, Llanwddyn Community Council, Hafren Dyfrdwy, and the Lake Vyrnwy Marketing Association. The project is designed to support and develop a vibrant volunteering community in the heart of Wales. By connecting communities and developing partnerships with key organisations in the area, Vibrant Vyrnwy is creating valuable volunteering experiences and training opportunities.
The project will bring people together to celebrate the cultural and natural heritage of the area, and work with the young farming community to develop and showcase how farming practices and nature can work together to benefit both nature and people.
