We’re really pleased to share that we’ve been awarded funding through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).

This grant will help us deliver our “MigFest & Beyond” project, which includes:
✅ A new toilet and shower block with storage at Kew Villa
✅ A bird hide at Beacon Ponds for better wildlife watching
✅ Marquees and signage to support events like MigFest and BioBlitz
✅ New interpretation panels at the Nature Hub

These improvements will:
✨ Make visits to Spurn more comfortable and welcoming
✨ Support volunteers and researchers with better facilities
✨ Bring more people to the area, benefitting local tourism and the wider community
✨ Give everyone more chances to enjoy and learn about nature

We’re grateful for this support, and we can’t wait to show you the progress over the coming months.
