New funding available – Green Community Grants
Date Published: 21st June 2024
Schools and community groups can apply for up to £2,000 to improve local green spaces. Deadline 30th June.
They want to fund practical projects which benefit both people and planet health. Priority will be given to projects that:
- Improve or create new green spaces
- Benefit and involve the local community
- Are located in disadvantaged areas (high Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) scores for the postcode, or a school with a significant proportion of children benefitting from free school meals)
Examples of green projects could include:
- Improving a local community garden for community use and recreational activities
- Volunteer-led tree or flower planting to improve air quality and biodiversity
- Creating an outdoor classroom or ‘forest school’ on school grounds
- Creating a community food growing space
This is not an exhaustive list and other project ideas to improve green spaces are also welcomed.
