Deadline: 11-Feb-25
The Asda Foundation is pleased to announce the Outdoor Community Spaces Fund Programme to improve or transform outdoor community spaces where people can meet and be together, and build pride in their local areas.
Whether it’s cleaning up a green space, delivering collaborative growing projects or transforming an unused area for local people to use, the Outdoor Community Spaces Fund can be used to create or enhance an outdoor space near you.
Aims
- This grant is for projects which meet at least one of the following aims:
- Transform an outdoor area, creating greener and more engaging community spaces.
- Create or enhance community growing projects.
- Enable community clean ups
Funding Information
- Grants of £500, £1,000, £1,500, £2,000, £2,500, or £3,000
Eligibility Criteria
- They encourage applications that:
- Increase access to outdoor spaces, particularly for marginalised or vulnerable groups of people. Asda Foundation is committed to enabling as many people as possible to be able to benefit from the funding.
- Bring local communities together – this means outdoor spaces which are open and accessible for a wide range of people on a regular basis.
- Make a lasting and demonstrable difference to an outdoor space.
- Enable groups to undertake a project that truly enhances a local space – applications that focus on just one or two expensive items are unlikely to be successful.
Ineligibility Criteria
- They are unable to consider applications from:
- Organisations based outside the UK or benefitting people/communities outside of the UK.
- Third party grant making organisations (grantees must directly deliver the service/activity).
- Schools and academy trusts, although PTAs (with their own bank account) are eligible to apply, providing that the funding would impact the wider community outside of the school.
- Groups who have a clear affiliation with a particular political party.
- Religious organisations whose services are only open to people of a particular faith.
- Animal charities or groups which have animal welfare as their main focus.
