LEADER Projects Round 12
Innovation Area ‘Inclusive Rural Economy’
BEES Volunteering and Development Project
BEES is a social enterprise which delivers nature-based activities to schools and families. A small number of volunteers help deliver the activities but BEES isn’t currently able to meet demand without training more volunteers. The project will employ a member of staff who will recruit and coordinate volunteers, and arrange their training in order that they can extend the BEEs services to more young people and schools.
