About The Prince’s Countryside Fund

The Prince’s Countryside Fund is the brainchild of The Prince of Wales who has a long-held commitmentto supporting Britain’s hard pressed rural areas.

The Fund raises money from a wide range of businesses who have responded to The Prince’s call to action to improve the long-term viability of the British countryside and its rural communities.

This money is channelled into providing grants to projects large and small that deliver the three objectives of The Fund:Improving the sustainability of British farming and rural communities (targeting the areas of greatest need), reconnecting consumers with countryside issues; and supporting farming crisis charities through a dedicated emergency funding stream.

The intention is to inspire other businesses and the general public to get involved and recognise the importance ofthe countryside to the nation’swell-being and economy.

If you would like to support the work of the Fund please make a donation over the counter at any Post Office or text PCF to 70300 and a £3 donation will be made instantly.

“The countryside means different things to all of us. For some, it is a place of beauty and tranquillity. For many, it is a place to live and work. But we can surely all agree it is one of the greatest treasures of our nation. Through my Countryside Fund I have been trying to help secure a sustainable future for this crucial asset and I am therefore delighted that this competition will seek to capture the photograph that very best represents it.”
