Richard Hore

I live and work in Yorkshire Dales National Park, managing our corporate partnerships at Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust (YDMT). As a charity, we deliver a range of on the ground environmental projects, using this work to engage vulnerable groups from some of the most nature deprived urban areas in the country. By fostering a connection with nature, we deliver positive wellbeing and skills development outcomes that help create a sense of place for marginalised groups, whilst connecting staff from our corporate partners with green space.

My work leading YDMT’s partnership with Leeds Building Society recently culminated in an award for Best Environmental Impact Partnership at the Third Sector Business Charity Awards. I have also been selected to take part in a ground breaking Nature Recovery Leadership Programme for the North of England, bringing emerging leaders together from different sectors to drive positive change.
