New Perspectives Storytelling Grants

As part of our New Perspectives project we have offered grants to young people to share their stories of National Parks

Tell us your story

Interested in exploring the themes of nature, climate emergency or equal access? Aged 16 – 30? We want to hear from you.

Campaign for National Parks are offering funding opportunities of up to £1,000 to young people who want to develop their communication and storytelling skills and share their stories of National Parks. We’re excited to hear from young people who want to develop a project exploring an issue, topic or story relating to one or more of the 13 National Parks in England and Wales.​

With a future dominated by the nature and climate emergencies, now is the time to engage a new generation of campaigners.

Stories from across the Parks

Alicia Hayden with her book I, me, moor

I, me, moor by Alicia Hayden

Alicia’s book follows Mimi and her family who live in North Yorkshire; her mother rocks her whilst been serenaded by skylarks, and Mimi grows up playing surrounded by peat and gorse in the garden.

Young, wild and free

Hannah has produced a zine exploring the themes of nature, young people and the mental health crisis, featuring stories and photos she’s captured from the Peak District and Pembrokeshire Coast National Parks.

It’s incredibly important for a diverse range of voices to be heard in the National Parks because how else can you enact change for future generations and those who should have the right to access our National Parks, without having a diverse range of voices represented.
