Nature Recovery Sheffield: Reaching Communities Project

Funded by National Lottery Community Fund April 2024–April 2028

For Nature For Everyone

Together we will build an inclusive & diverse city-wide nature recovery movement so everyone, regardless of where they live or their background, can access, enjoy, and have a voice for nature in their local neighbourhoods.

Sign up here to be part of the growing nature recovery movement and to receive seasonal nature activities, tips for helping nature and celebration of community stories around Sheffield.

At our core, are the principles of community organising: we build relationships with people and communities, listen to their shared concerns and interests and support them to work together to take sustainable action for nature and people.

Broadening Participation

We go to, listen to and deliver nature activities with communities, for people with the least access to nature.

Providing Advice, Support & Training

We equip individuals and groups with skills, knowledge, and confidence to create impactful wildlife-friendly spaces through resources, workshops and peer learning.
