Gemma Lacey, director of sustainability and communications at the Southern Co-operative said: ‘This extensive project is connecting communities along Hampshire’s coastline.
‘The Solent Way Project stood out because of the sheer community reach of its collective projects, mobilising a diverse and broad range of volunteers to come together to not only improve access to our coastline but to educate and inspire young people and adults alike.’
