At the present time fundraising is uncertain due to the Covid-19 emergency. The businesses who usually help us with fundraising are no loger able to do so. So we are unable to offer our small grants for the time being. We shall keep you posted.
Champion Bowland provides easily accessible small grants for local projects which benefit the environment, local communities and visitors within the Forest of Bowland AONB. Champion Bowland raises funds from visitor donations, charitable activities and other sources. We are proud of introducing individuals and groups to the unique landscape and culture of the Forest of Bowland through school visits or funding Trampers (off-road mobility scooters).
Available from our sustainable tourism providers in the Forest of Bowland. Get them whilst you can!
