Black Mountains College, Talgarth

Grant amount: £15,000
Award year: 2021
Awarded to: Black Mountains College Pioneer Camps

A unique college in and around the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, Wales, to create a future where nature and humans thrive. BMC focuses on the challenge of our times: how to build a fair and just society within safe planetary boundaries.

The BMC Pioneer Camps are a series of four residential events for young people located at our new farm campus outside Talgarth in the Brecon Beacons National Park. These are the first of their kind which we hope will take on a life of their own to become a regular part of the BMC calendar.  The funding supported the design and planning for the first group in the summer of 2022.
