About Us

Friends of the Cotswolds is a charity, formed in 2006 to support the conservation and enhancement of the environment and landscape of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We also seek to raise awareness of its distinctive qualities which make it such a special place to live, work and visit.

The Friends provide grants to a wide range of groups and organisations who undertake projects which benefit the landscape and local communities. We rely totally on donations to support the work.

If you feel you would like to help us keep this area special; please see our how to help us page.

Our news page gives an update on what the Friends have been doing and our recent grant awards.
