The Dane Bank Green Space Charity, established in 2020, has a 25-year lease on two sites including three ponds and a one-hectare field. Phase 1 site improvements were funded by two lottery grants, topped up with a successful Just Giving campaign that raised £11,495. This money was used to create new access, car park and circulatory footpath.

Phase 2 seeks to further develop the site with a range of facilities to enhance the visitor experience. These will include a sensory trail, small amphitheatre, butterfly garden, tree and shrub planting.

A follow up bid to the Big Lottery will be made to secure funding for a Lodge which is intended as a key facility to further the aims and the objectives of the Charity and a range of stakeholders including education, wildlife, ecology, health and wellbeing.

We are seeking further funding and support to help achieve our overall aspirations.
