Community Hub
Helping you to help nature where you live
Fancy making your neighbourhood a little bit greener and that little bit wilder? You're in the right place! We’re in a nature crisis. This means that without our help, we will lose more and more wildlife – animals, plants, birds and insects. The Community Hub offers you advice on how to help nature while connecting with your community.
How to use the Community Hub
The Community Hub is a place for anyone who wants to do something for nature in their neighbourhood. The guides and stories featured here are the start of what will become an extensive library of resources to offer inspiration, ideas and advice for organising a community project, from funding and finance to working with people and starting your own group.
What is Nextdoor Nature?
While exploring the Community Hub you may come across the words Nextdoor Nature. That's because this resource is a direct product of the Nextdoor Nature project, a 2-year initiative that placed community at the heart of what we do at The Wildlife Trusts.
Nextdoor Nature was made possible thanks to £5 million funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, which provided people with the advice and support they needed to help nature on their doorstep. Thousands of groups across the UK were supported by Nextdoor Nature and its legacy lives on. The Community Hub records the stories of many of these groups and offers advice so that others can follow in their footsteps.
For an overview of Nextdoor Nature across the UK, explore the videos and stories on our interactive webpage.
Featured Guides
These guides tell you how to start a group, how to find funding and everything you need to know about insurance, banks and more.
Featured Stories
Our Stories library will contain personal accounts of action that communities are taking to help nature and wildlife, not just in North Wales but all over the UK. To start us off, here is a short video profile of the Llanfair-Fyw community group in Denbighshire.
