Community Fund Are you a school, community group or project within the Forest of Marston Vale looking for up to £2k of funding? 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! Little Cranes Pre-School, Cranfield The Forest of Marston Vale Community Fund is available to any community groups or projects based in (or of benefit to) the local communities in the 61 square miles of the Forest. It's simple to apply for and wide ranging - accepting applications for many things from educational projects to community amenities; environmental projects to energy efficiency schemes. The funding panel meets once a year in February – so get your applications in by the end of January to be considered for next year.
