A previously successful scheme provided bird boxes and feeders to care homes, hospices, schools and other community spaces. We were proud to have made a small difference to a number of organisations by doing this.
Spending time in nature is linked to both cognitive benefits and improvements in mood, mental health and emotional well-being and feeling connected to nature can produce similar benefits to well-being, regardless of how much time one spends outdoors. And, of course, the birds benefited as well….!
Please note that the scheme has now been suspended.
I am Trustee of a small local charity that look after and maintain a meadow and small area of woodland as a wildlife reserve. ( the Haywood Trust )
We would like to apply for funding small bird nesting boxes as we have enough mature tree to put up about 6
The meadow has open access to the community at all times.

St. Christopher’s Warden Hill, Cheltenham is looking towards seeking an ECO Church Bronze award and noting last year that there could be birdboxes provided to churches I have been asked to contact you as to the present situation whether or not such bird boxes might be still available sometime.
Many thanks,
