The Prince’s Countryside Fund is delighted to announce that the Royal Warrant Holders Association Charity Fund and the Barbour Foundation have made a joint donation of £20,000 to support the Fund’s emergency grant funding campaign.
Nick Farrow, Chairman of the Royal Warrant Holders Association said: “It’s fantastic that The Prince’s Countryside Fund emergency appeal is supporting rural communities during this crisis and beyond – they are literally the nation’s lifeblood. The Royal Warrant Holders Association Charity Fund is very excited to be part of this support.”
Claire Saunders, Director of The Prince’s Countryside Fund said: “We are incredibly grateful to the Royal Warrant Holders Association and to the Barbour Foundation for their support in this difficult time.
“The response to our emergency grant round has been immense, with nearly 300 communities from across the UK applying for funding to tackle the practical implications of the coronavirus on their rural community. From food and prescription delivery to digitally connecting isolated folk, this generous donation will allow the Fund to support even more wonderful, hardworking volunteers in the British countryside.”
