A south west (Plymouth) charity which aims to increase awareness of the marine environment and the need for conservation.
Conservation charities, community groups, schools, colleges and individuals are eligible to apply for a grant of (usually) between £1,200 and £5,000 for projects that address the theme of ‘Conservation through Engagement’ for research-based, conservation-focused, educational or community events. This includes projects which enable individuals and communities to enjoy the seas, learn about the seas and, ultimately, develop active caring attitudes and behaviours.
Projects which target disadvantaged groups are encouraged, while those that demonstrate a novel approach are more likely to attract support.
The funder prefers to see some match funding in place for all applications.
Deadlines are 1st May and 1st November annually.
