Nature – Activities that improve the health and resilience of the UK’s ecosystems and native species, working to restore habitats on land and in freshwater and marine environments.

Heritage – Heritage restoration, regeneration, or conservation projects that have the potential to deliver significant social and economic benefits. They favour grassroots organisations that strongly engage with their local communities.
