The Small Grant Scheme 2024 will launch in August 2024, offering another exciting opportunity to apply for funding for projects aimed at revitalising shared greenspaces benefitting the community and the environment. Since 2014, the funding stream has supported local community volunteers focused on environmental action.

This grant scheme seeks to:

Increase civic pride and enhance the environment by creating high-quality, shared outdoor spaces.
Transform neglected spaces into vibrant and valued community places by introducing habitats and improving visitor access.
Implement initiatives that enable nature recovery and climate-conscious actions.
Improve the health and wellbeing of communities through contributing to the upkeep and improvement of public spaces.
Enhance the quality of the local environment by reducing littering and dog fouling through community action.

The Connecting Communities events are taking place across our 9 partner council areas this August and September. The Live Here Love Here team will be available to offer advice and support on applying for funding. It is highly recommended that you attend an in person or online event.
