The second year of the Norfolk Coast Sustainable Development Fund has brought further real benefits to the people and environment of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The SDF panel are now looking for new innovative and exciting projects for 2007-8 that “change the attitude and behaviour of individuals and communities in a positive way towards sustainable development”. Ideas are warmly welcomed from individuals, local community groups and other organisations.
– a great year for sustainability in the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Organisations and people within the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty have been working hard developing and delivering great sustainable projects over the 2006/7 year with the help of the Sustainability Development Fund.
Sixteen applicants were offered grants during the year for their projects that are helping to keep our part of the world special.
Maree Limpus the fund administrator says “it is really heartening to be working with people that care about the special qualities of our area and its people, and who want to do something to help maintain and develop this. Often we think of development as being at the expense of our natural environment, but all of the Sustainable Develop Fund projects bring benefit not just to the people of the area but also to the environment.
As the fund moves into its third year, we are looking forward to having even more innovative and exciting projects taking off within our area, whether they are by organisations or by individuals with a passion for making a difference”.
For more details of who and what received funding this year, see the attached table, and feel free to give Maree a call or send her an email if you have any questions.
