Funding available for community-led projects that improve the environment and help people connect with and enjoy nature where they live. This funding aims to strengthen communities and create positive change. It supports projects that meet one or both of these aims:

• Help people to connect with and care for nature in their area

• Make a positive difference to the environment

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.

This grant also fund projects that deliver sustainable activities and help people reduce carbon or save energy.

Projects based on sports, arts, or heritage are eligible for this funding if they do more than provide the activity, for example, an online dance group for young people that also reduces loneliness or supports mental health. Find out more
