Branch Out

Branch Out is about working in partnership to reconnect habitats for the benefit of people and wildlife. It encompasses a number of projects with the aim of helping this region build resilience and adapt to the changing climate whilst bringing benefits to water, wildlife and communities.

The Branch Out fund exists to help people deliver projects that benefit the natural environment and their local communities. If you or your organisation are involved in a project that meets the aims of Branch Out (see guidance notes below), then the fund might be able to help you.

If it is man power that your project needs, Essex & Suffolk Water employees may be able to get involved via our employee volunteering programme to help your project succeed so please get in touch via branchout@nwl.co.uk. The files below provide additional information and case studies of projects the Branch Out fund has already been able to support.
