Unlocking our Coastal Heritage: Projects delivered by the South West Coast Path Association
The South West Coast Path Association is a charity representing users of the Trail. By increasing its volunteer & fundraising activities, it was able to help identify projects and in conjunction with the Commercial Partnership Officer employed by the SWCP Team, raise over £200,000 from individuals and businesses towards projects. A key part of this fundraising was the 2013 Great South West Walk.
