Parishes or Communities situated in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are invited to apply for sponsorship, which will be provided by one of Eden’s stable of sponsors.
Although sponsorship is channeled to the parish council you do NOT have to be a member of the parish council to request sponsorship.
The payment of funds will be arranged between Eden and your parish council. Under our agreement with your council, funds will be ring-fenced for infrastructure projects.
Sponsorship will be contingent on you having a team and schedule in place to patrol your entire parish road network at least twice a week. A twice-weekly schedule is required in order to make it as certain as possible that, in the event of somebody missing a patrol, your parish will still be patrolled for the minimum of once a week to qualify your parish as a #pristineparish.
You need NOT patrol any way that is not a public road for vehicles, e.g. footpaths or bridlepaths. Such paths are left to others, particularly families with children, who love to use grabbers.
We very much want you to succeed, so will work with you to help you qualify for sponsorship.
