Funders

Working in Partnership


The only way to make a real difference for wildlife is to work with others, and the Wildlife Trust has some amazing and committed partners.

Some of them we work with every day while others generously fund our projects or contribute to our running costs. 

The East Peak Innovation Partnership was established in 2008 and links together three similar areas covering Penistone and District, North Sheffield and the parishes of Denby Dale and Kirkburton. The Partnership was established to deliver a LEADER bottom up, community led approach to rural development.  Supported by the European Union and Defra, the East Peak Innovation Partnership has funded our East Peak for Young People project.

The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) sustains and transforms a wide range of heritage though innovative investment in projects with a lasting impact on people and places. The Don Heritgage for Young People has been kindly supported by this fund.

We would like to thank EPIP and HLF for there support in funding our work and contributing to this website. 

Sheffield City Council is our main partner across Sheffield. We lease nine nature reserves from the Council and work closely with the Ecology Unit and the Parks, Woodlands and Countryside Ranger Service to improve Sheffield's parks and open spaces, and on vital works to protect and enhance biodiversity.

We are also working extensively with Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, particularly on Centenary Riverside, our innovative urban wetland park which is part nature reserve, part natural flood defence.

Together with our partners, and with the support of the local communities to whom we are ultimately responsible, we are helping to make Sheffield and Rotherham better and greener places to live - for wildlife, and for people.
