Donors & Benefactors

While love, light, fresh air and sunshine are important ingredients in sustaining the Nature Recovery Network (NRN), funding has also been a vital component in giving us a flying start. The list below demonstrates the widespread community support for the NRN, and the spontaneous generosity of the NRN’s benefactors has enabled it to achieve many things in a short time, since its inception in 2020.

Donations and grants for the NRN totalled an astonishing £ 20,000 in 2020. They were used to fund the wide range of practical and virtual activities that have been reported on the NRN Mailouts, on Eynsham Online, and now recorded on this dedicated NRN Website, which is the key piece of infrastructure needed to facilitate all the activities of our people-led Nature Recovery Network.
