With thanks to players of People's Postcode Lottery, we are pleased to announce that our project to improve greenspaces and increase access to the outdoors has been awarded funding by Postcode Places Trust.

Little Ouse Headwaters Project (LOHP) received £24,986, made possible thanks to players of People's Postcode Lottery. The funds will be used to start to improve access around our sites in all weathers, making sites much more accessible to all and increasing community access to the outdoors, while enhancing wildlife habitats. It will help us to further engage and educate local residents and visitors, by providing funding to produce our newsletter ‘News from the Ouse’ and reprint our leaflet that will allow people to explore the Little Ouse and find out more about the wildlife and history of the area. The project will help us to raise our profile and promote volunteering opportunities.


Rob Robinson Chair of LOHP said: “The support from players of People's Postcode Lottery is invaluable, enabling us to carry out much needed access improvements, enhancing wildlife habitats and engaging with a wider audience”.


We hope to start work on the project this autumn, with completion by December 2025. So, look out for next edition of ‘News from the Ouse’ coming soon.

We received a nice surprise from Hopton Primary School in the form of thank you pictures and notes written by the children who had attended the river visit. They had all enjoyed their visit and even learnt a thing or two.
