In partnership with Dorset High Sheriff, Sibyl Fine King, the Nature Heals Seed fund offers small grants to community groups using the benefits of the natural world to improve the lives of local people.

The Nature Heals Seed Fund offers small grants of up to £1,000 to small, local groups running low cost community activities. The fund exists to help groups which aim to take risks and take on new initiatives, as well as, to fund existing small-scale activities which need funding to continue or develop.

The grant’s chief purpose is to further a connection with nature among the Dorset community, to benefit local people and enhance the services and activities that serve them. These projects will engage with the natural world in order to effect positive change and bring tangible improvements to quality of life for Dorset residents.
