Levy is giving £500,000 to the fund in 2026 to benefit six projects, alongside the award winning Biohub, in North Yorkshire, which inspired the fund’s creation.
The projects have been chosen for their commitment to nature restoration and social impact, to represent a diverse range of landscapes, and because of their relevance to Levy’s supply chain as a leading hospitality partner.
The projects include:
- Allotment Soup, Isle of Walney, Barrow In Furness: Establishment of a new community orchard at ‘Allotment Soup’: 1.6 acres of former scrub land in one of Britain’s most economically and culturally challenged areas.
- GrubsUp! North York Moors, National Parks Partnership: Creation of connected habitats for pollinators and other invertebrates across the North York Moors, expanding the current successful network.
- London Regenerative Farm Hub, Greenwich, London: Supporting the next phase of ecological regeneration at one of Europe’s largest city farms, in Greenwich.
- Project Seagrass, Laugharne, Wales: Development of a nursery for seagrass, one of nature’s ‘superheroes’.
- Restoring Highland Rivers, Kyle of Sutherland, Scottish Highlands: Ecological work supporting the health of two rivers in the Scottish Highlands.
- River Friendly Farming, Fordhall Farm Community Land Initiative, Shropshire: Bespoke hydrology and ecosystems projects at this community-owned farm to support ‘river-friendly farming’.
Jon Davies, chief executive of Levy, said: “These diverse, nature‑based projects represent far more than good intentions; they show our willingness to invest, to take responsibility, and to accelerate real change for both people and planet.
“I’m excited to see the tangible restoration, the community benefits, and the social impact these projects will deliver. And I hope this inaugural cohort becomes a powerful learning community - one that shares knowledge, grows together, and inspires even bolder action.
“We’ve already seen what’s possible when partnerships are rooted in purpose and backed with real commitment. Change only happens when we put our money where our mouth is, when we move beyond statements into genuine collaboration and meaningful investment. That is how we create lasting, positive impact for people and planet.”
RegenFutureCo is now inviting additional contributions from further partners so that the benefits of these and potential future, Living System Fund projects, can be amplified. Together they Levy, together they will track and report progress on each project, with storytelling to inspire, educate and engage.
