HRH The Prince of Wales visited Jaguar Land Rover’s Halewood operations as part of a series of visits to support UK manufacturing. His Royal Highness toured the production facility meeting young apprentices and speaking to employees building Land Rover Freelander 2 vehicles.
Land Rover, in a partnership with The Prince’s Countryside Fund, is supplying five Freelanders to support rural communities across the UK.
Working together with The Prince’s Countryside Fund, Land Rover will offer bursaries to five individuals or groups who can demonstrate how the use of a Freelander for a year would enable them to support their rural community. They could be a young entrepreneur starting a rural enterprise, an apprentice hill farmer or an organisation offering transport to rurally isolated people or access to training opportunities for young people dedicated to building a sustainable future for rural communities.
More detail on application criteria and selection will be announced later this year.
The public can make a donation online at Virgin Giving, at the Post Office or by Text. Text PCF to 70300 and a £3 donation will be made to The Prince’s Countryside Fund.
Until March 2013 all donations will be given directly to the Farming Help Charities
