The CLA Charitable Trust

The CLA Charitable Trust seeks to support the most disadvantaged, and especially disadvantaged young people, to access the benefits of the countryside. Our charitable objects are: o Advancing people’s physical and mental health and wellbeing through financial support of charities, not-for-profit organisations and social enterprises, which are delivering access, recreational and educational opportunities within and about the countryside. o To promote and encourage education in sustainable farming, food production and rural land management. We support a wide range of organisations providing activities engaging young people and communities in these areas. This includes but is not limited to: o Farms providing day or residential experiences for disabled or disadvantaged young people. o Growing projects including horticultural therapy and community projects supporting people through outdoor activities and gardening. o Forest school type activities giving people the opportunity to utilise their outdoor spaces for the benefit of their mental and physical wellbeing. o Conservation and environmental projects giving people the chance to learn about the natural environment and how to care for it. Organisations and activities must be in England and / or Wales only.
