Fundraising

Peak District National Park - Moors for the Future

The Peak District National Park Authority, together with the National Trust and other partners have submitted a Heritage Lottery bid concerning the long term management and restoration of the Peak Moorlands. I was retained to help design the sustainability indicators regarding public access, visitor management and interpretation. I have also helped to prepare a strategy for increasing public understanding of the moors and edited the final HLF bid documents. In August 2001 I was retained by the National Park Authority to progress the bid to a successful Stage 2 application.

Peak Environment Fund

I was appointed as a trustee of the Peak Environment Fund in 1997. The Fund was an experimental new regional environmental charity established to raise voluntary donations from visitors to and businesses within the Peak District area in order to support countryside management projects. I retired as a trustee in December 1998 to work one day a week as the Fund's Business Development Manager for nine months.

Sherwood Forest Interpretation Systems Plan

In August 2001 I was commissioned to prepare a strategy for interpretation and "branding" of the Sherwood Forest area, as part of the successful HLF funded Sherwood Initiative. The initiative is designed to enhance the profile of the area and encourage more coordination between the different organisations responsible for its management and development.

Bollington Community Projects

In a voluntary capacity I have helped raise finance from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Cheshire Rural Recovery Fund, Local Authorities and DEFRA for a range of community projects in Bollington, Cheshire.
