Dedicated to helping charities who share in its vision of connecting people with the countryside who are disabled or disadvantaged, the CLACT is funded almost entirely by subscriptions and donations from Country Land and Business Association (CLA) members, an organisation which supports nearly 26,000 farmers, landowners and rural businesses.

Now The Biddulph Youth and Community Zone based in Staffordshire and Sunny Skies CIC based in Leicestershire, have both received £5,000 to put towards their proposed improvement projects.

The Biddulph Youth and Community Zone aim to provide a safe, warm and friendly environment for the local community. They provide activities to reduce loneliness and social isolation, improving physical and mental health helping those with low aspirations, providing training, employment and development of skills.
