The climate and nature emergency affects us all. But local action can make a real difference. We want to fund projects that have environmental sustainability as their main aim.

We’ll fund projects that meet at least one of our priorities:

  • help people connect with and care for nature in their area

  • make a positive difference to the environment

  • help people tackle pollution in their communities

You can use our funding to:

  • start a new activity or continue an existing one (if it meets our priorities)

  • help your organisation or community (or both) adapt to new challenges

  • run one-off events that have a clear environmental benefit

This funding is for projects based in one of the following countries:

  • Northern Ireland

  • Scotland

  • Wales

You have up to 24 months after award to spend the money. You cannot use the same funding to run projects in more than one country.
