The climate and nature emergency affects us all, but local action can make a real difference. We fund community-led projects that improve the environment and help people connect with and enjoy nature where they live.
You can use the funding to:
– start a new activity or continue an existing one
– help your organisation adapt to new challenges
– run one-off events that have a clear environmental benefit.
We’re looking to fund projects that:
– help people connect with and care for nature in their area
– make a positive difference to the environment
Suitable for: Voluntary, statutory or community organisations
Funding size: £300 to £20,000 for up to two years
