Organisation Details
City of Nature is a registered CIC focussed on environmental sustainability. They aim to increase the biodiversity of Bradford, both for the benefit of the environment and local residents’ wellbeing. They look to use plants and trees to combat pollution, store carbon, create wildlife corridors, restore habitats and work with all communities to strengthen their connection to nature.
Part of their plan involves creating immersive, sensory gardens in the city that will allow natural processes to flourish. They believe this is key to transforming Bradford and creating a welcoming green city of the future, especially for City of Culture 2025.
Project Details
Fundraising:
The organisation desperately needs help with accessing funding so they can continue and expand on the services they offer. They are seeking advice on efficient methods to fundraise, how to best access different forms of funding as well as writing bid proposals. Support needed:
- Sourcing grants and funding
- Help with/ advice on writing funding bids
- Fundraising initiatives
Financial Management:
City of Nature is a relatively young organisation, forming at the end of 2023. Because of this, they are seeking guidance from an accountant who can advise on effective financial management through knowledge of methods, software/ programmes or general advice. Areas of support include financial planning, budgeting & forecasting finances, cash flow management etc.
