More about the Wealden Climate & Nature Fund

Using the power of the crowd we are helping environmental, sustainability and climate change projects to get the funding they need to turn their ideas into reality!

Crowdfunder and Wealden District Council have come together to support project and activities that will help Wealden tackle and respond to the climate and nature crisis.

Climate change and our environment are one of the three core priorities of Wealden District Council. This commitment is reflected in the Wealden District Council Strategy 2023–2027 which focuses on working with local communities and partners to reduce emissions, protect and enhance the district’s green infrastructure and improve biodiversity. Building on this, the Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan approved in July 2025 sets a clear direction for action - supporting residents, local groups and organisations to take action to actively reduce emissions strengthen resilience and tackle climate change across Wealden.

This new crowdfunding programme is an opportunity to bring to life initiatives and activities which are close to your community’s heart.

We want to inspire and support local projects that contribute to Wealden’s climate change ambitions and support nature recovery. Our vision for Wealden is a place where 30% of our land, rivers and seas are positively managed for nature by 2030.
