Natural Neighbours
Description
Natural Neighbours (NN) transform neglected urban spaces into thriving habitats, created and cared for by local communities.
Working in some of London’s most deprived neighbourhoods, NN have engaged over 1,000 residents and created more than 40 micro-habitats. Interest from councils is growing, but the Director and Chair currently spend too much of their time on administration to capitalise on these opportunities.
NN will use our funding to recruit an Operations Manager to strengthen systems and provide additional capacity. This will free up the leadership team to focus on fundraising, partnerships and scaling a proven model to create thriving habitats in communities across London and other UK cities.
