Shropshire Wildlife Trust is celebrating a £1.49m boost to help 400 young people become the next generation of green leaders.
Social mobility charity UpRising and the Shropshire Wildlife Trust have been awarded £1.49 million from The National Lottery Community Fund to co-deliver a new environmental leadership programme.
The innovative initiative is designed to support four cohorts of 100 young people aged 18 to 25 from underrepresented and underserved communities across the West Midlands. Amira Ismail, Birmingham-based trustee of UpRising and programme alumna said: “We’re thrilled to have led this bid and to be shaping this programme with our partners at Shropshire Wildlife Trust.
"Thanks to National Lottery players, we will be able to work with SWT to support young people across the West Midlands, co-creating a programme that will make a big difference to young people’s lives, their communities, and their planet.” The National Lottery Community Fund aims to distribute at least £4 billion by 2030, supporting activities that create resilient communities that are more inclusive and environmentally sustainable.
