Meeting challenges
TOGETHER Junior Rangers will receive funding for new uniforms.
In these unprecedented times, getting close to nature is more important than ever for our health and wellbeing. It’s also vital that we all play our part in looking after our precious landscapes – and the Peak District National Park Foundation is leading the way.
We are in reach of our #70kfor70 target

e ’d like to start with a huge thank you to all our amazing supporters who have helped us to be within reach of our #70kfor70 target! The campaign set out to raise £70k ahead of the Peak District’s 70th anniversary – in April 2021 – as the UK’s original national park. And, thanks to your donations, hard work and some great fundraising ideas, we’ve not only reached our target, but we’re already funding some great projects. These include:
Mosaic members enjoy a mindfulness walk.
• Uniforms on the way for Junior Rangers • Changing Places fully accessible toilet facility at Millers Dale Station, working with Accessible Derbyshire • Working with Peak District Mosaic to train Champions to make the Park more welcoming to marginalised communities • Landscape conservation work through the South West Peak Landscape Partnership & Moors for the Future 26

Foundation chair Jen Lowthrop says: “We can’t thank you enough for all your support in what has been a very challenging year for everyone. “One of the key things we’ve learned in 2020 is the importance of being able to access the countryside and get close to nature for both our physical and mental health. With your support, we can look after this precious resource for our own
and future generations. “Every penny of the money raised for #70kfor70 is going straight into projects to care for our beautiful Peak District. “And, as we celebrate the Peak District’s milestone birthday in 2021, there’ll be many more ways to support our amazing national park. Keep up the good work!” Find out more at: www.peakdistrictfoundation.org.uk
