How are we funded?

As a charitable organisation we are totally reliant on raising all our operating costs externally. We have no core revenue sources such as a shop or café. We are expanding our membership in order to secure a small but reliable funding stream. Our funding strategy ensures that we spread the sources offunding so as to avoid over reliance on one source. This is, of course, difficult to do. But we have succeeded in raising funds from contracts, service level agreements, charitable trusts, traded income, donations and European funding sources.

Currently, we are very grateful to the following organisations for their continued support:

• BIG Lottery Fund
• ScottishPower Energy People Trust
• Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority
• Pembrokeshire County Council
• Flintshire County Council
• Conwy County Council
• npower
• Garfield Weston Foundation
• Ernest Cook Trust
• Environment Wales
• INTERREG IVC
• Oakdale Trust
