“The Royal Countryside Fund is appreciated at that grassroots, practical level. It’s turned around lives, and saved countryside. You discover from some individuals, and there have been lots of them over the years, that its been quite clear that had The Royal Countryside Fund not intervened, the whole thing would have gone to the wall. And that matters: it matters to individuals, but it also matters to the planet. There is a real and practical benefit from The Royal Countryside Fund: it’s not just intention, its actually achievement.”

Alan Titchmarsh, Ambassador for The Royal Countryside Fund
