Mentro Allan is a Big Lottery Fund programme aimed at encouraging hard to reach groups to take part in physical activity in their local natural environment. It is a £6.5million fund that will support 10 - 15 local projects over the 4 years from June 2006 to 2010. The local projects are being facilitated through a National Partnership for which the Big Lottery Fund has awarded a grant from 2005 to 2010
