2. Consult on the development of a capacity building and training programme, led by WWF-UK and RSPB.
3. Co-develop, with the partners, a suite of resources designed to support community groups that face barriers to successfully deliver their project and sustain action in the long-term.
4. Co-develop, with the partners, a suite of resources designed to support community groups to lead activities are accessible and inclusive to a diverse range of audiences and beneficiaries.
