Helen Mitchem, Miner2Major’s engagement officer, said: “This area is filled with inspiring people looking to develop their skills, improve their wellbeing and help a wider range of people to become involved in heritage.

“It is my role to help such groups to fund their amazing work and this grants scheme is the perfect opportunity to try new things and improve knowledge about the wonders of the Sherwood Forest area and its people.”

Any groups or organisations with an idea for a project are advised to get in touch with the Miner2Major team who can discuss it before making an application.
