Are you a school, community group or project within the Forest of Marston Vale looking for up to £2k of funding?

Willow Hut built at Cranfield School with money from the Community Fund

We spent [our grant] on our Willow Den, which we love! Now we sit in our Willow Den to read, explore, hide, have fun and play imaginative games! The grown-ups are excited because they say the Willow Den has inspired them to make even more of our outdoor area…It’s looking like we’re going to be having even more fun!
