Storytelling Grants
Explore the stories and projects produced by our latest group of young people
Our National Parks New Perspectives project first launched in 2021 with the aim to give young people from diverse backgrounds the opportunity to influence and connect with decision makers to change the narratives on who National Parks are for and who has a say in their future. We’ve worked with some incredible young people to share their stories and explore themes close to their heart.
In 2024 we were grateful to be awarded funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to grow the project and connect even more young people with National Parks over two years, thanks to National Lottery players. The project consisted of many different aspects; a variety of grants for young people to share their stories of National Parks, our Future Leaders Course which provides campaigning and leadership skills to inspire future leaders, as well as recruiting youth ambassadors and providing in person opportunities for young people to engage with and influence decision makers.
Just 6% visitors are aged 16-24 and young people are much less likely to live, work or be involved in decision-making in National Parks
