Description

Grants of between £500 and £2,000 are available. Projects must be delivered by the end of April 2027.

The programme funds practical projects which improve both people’s health and the health of the planet. They expect to fund around 175 projects. This is a popular programme and likely to be oversubscribed.

Priority will be given to projects that: 

  • Improve existing green spaces or create new ones in cities, especially in priority areas: London, Staines, Brighton, Leeds, Greater Manchester (in particular Salford), Dublin and Glasgow
  • Take place in areas with the greatest need, meaning areas in the top 20% most deprived, based on official Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) data. Where this data is not available, you must clearly evidence that your project location has high levels of need.
  • Have not received a Bupa Foundation Green Community Grant before
  • Clearly show how they improve people’s health and the health of the planet

 

Greater priority may be given to projects that meet the above criteria and are recommended by a named Bupa employee or customer.
