Grants for environment volunteers - ‘the green heroes’

Darren Grover | 07.12.2007 15:42 | Ecology | Education | Social Struggles | South Coast

A charitable trust is offering grants for UK students to volunteer on conservation or global action projects. Visit www.darrengrover.co.uk for details or to apply.

A charitable trust set up a couple of years ago has been giving small amounts of money to students (and others) to help them cover the costs of volunteering abroad. Over the years, the trust has given out grants ranging from £50-£400 to almost 100 people, who have volunteered on a range of projects accross the globe.

For the 2007-2008 period, the trust plans to concentrate its grant-giving on students looking to work with organisations involved with conservation / environment-related fields, particularly where there is a scientific element with the potential for publishable data.

If you are interested, grants range for the 2007/2008 period are from £50-250 and can be made by any UK student who is looking to volunteer WITHIN THE EU ONLY.

To apply, please evisit www.darrengrover.co.uk or www.esperanzanet.org.uk

Many thanks and good luck!

Real Left Winger

I was just thinking, we don't see many LibDem councillors blogs on IM, do we ? Then along comes Darren with his offer to jet-set 'green' students around the world 'to save the environment'. As if there wasn't a horde of eco-faker jetsetting debutantes already flying from the UK to save the earth.



She's a real left-winger cos shes been down south
And held peasants in her arms. She said
"I could tell you stories that would make you cry. What about you?"
I said, "Me too. I could tell you a story that would make you cry."
And she sighed - "Ah."
I said "I want to be a singer like Lou Reed"
"I like Lou Reed" she said, sticking her tongue in my ear.
"Let's go, let's sit, let's talk, politics goes so good with beer,
"And while we're at it, baby, why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?"
I said "Losing my penis to a horrid disease."
"Just kidding" I said "Losing my life to a whore with disease"
She said "Excuse me, please?"
I said "Losing my life to a whore with disease."
I said "Please."
Well I'm a humble guy with healthy desire
Don't give me no shit because
I've been tired.
