Do One Thing is a four-year project aiming to help people to take their first step in helping the environment and wildlife. Just doing one thing can make a difference, it’s all about doing what you can for nature.
This partnership project covers Cheltenham, Gloucester and the Forest of Dean as well as Tewkesbury and is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund Grant. This project is a partnership between Tewkesbury Nature Reserve, Gloucester Wildlife Trust, Forest Voluntary Action Forum, Planet Cheltenham and Gateway Trust.
Project aim:
Working with people from 5 – 95 (any beyond) this project aims to:

What we do:
