Sussex Wildlife Trust's Wild Side of the Tracks project, based at The Deneway Nature Reserve in Brighton has been shortlisted at this year’s ScottishPower Foundation Awards, which celebrate benevolent work in local communities the length and breadth of the UK.

The project offers a wide variety of opportunities for the local community to learn skills, volunteer and experience nature through Forest School sessions, practical conservation and wildlife habitat improvements in school grounds and at The Deneway.

Among the 12 shortlisted organisations in England are projects working in sustainability, education and community engagement including National Deaf Children’s Society, Sussex Wildlife Trust, Young Women’s Trust, Maggie Keswick Jencks Cancer Caring Centres Trust, Music in Hospitals & Care.

Taking place at the ScottishPower HQ in Glasgow in September, the award ceremony will showcase the work of organisations that have been supported by the ScottishPower Foundation’s £1.25million funding programme this year.

Nominated projects are judged in four categories including the Innovative Project Award, the Education Award, the Community Impact and Engagement Award and the Charity Champion Award, which highlights the remarkable work of one outstanding employee or volunteer.

The annual Awards, which are now in their sixth year, provide an opportunity for projects to take home further funding with the winners in each category receiving £5,000 and the runners up awarded £2,500.
This year’s judging panel is made up of a host of experts from ScottishPower, the third sector and media including Tom Walsh, District General Manager for Cheshire at SP Energy Networks; Iain Pope, News Editor at the Edinburgh Evening News and Stella Litchfield, Director of Development at the National Theatre of Scotland.

Mike Thornton, Chair of the ScottishPower Foundation said: “We’re now in the sixth year of the Awards and I continue to be impressed by the outstanding work taking place in communities right across the country. Through our financial support, these charities are making their mark in areas that we are passionate about including education on sustainable development, STEM and climate change, support for people living in disadvantage and enriching communities through the arts and culture.
