Deadline: 6-Jan-23
The Community Fund is now inviting applications for its Living Places and Spaces Programme.
This programme offers small scale capital grants of between £1,000 and £10,000. This is to support communities by creating more sustainable and resilient outdoor spaces through:
- Greening – planting more trees and plants in an area
- rewilding – allowing nature to take over an area
- water management – slowing rainwater before it gets to the drainage systems.
The funding helps increase access to those spaces. The types of projects that could be funded include:
- community gardens (a single piece of land gardened collectively by a group of people)
- pocket parks and forests (small urban or rural forests)
- allotments (an area of land used for growing fruit and vegetables)
- rain gardens (an area which is planted so that rainwater from roofs, driveways, etc runs into it and soaks into the ground, and therefore does not cause flooding or other problems)
- green roofs (a roof that is partially or completely covered with vegetation)
- ponds and living walls or vertical gardens (vertical structures that have living plants or other greenery attached to them).
- installation of outdoor furniture or features to encourage usage
- measures to encourage walking, wheeling and cycling.
