From community gardens, to repair and recycle schemes, to running volunteer sessions to care for green spaces, thanks to National Lottery players, people across the UK from Perth to Portsmouth are making a difference.

What environmental funding is available?

If you have an idea for an environmental project, we have a range of grants available to apply for. Grants range from £300 up to £20,000 through our open Awards for All programme to grants over £500,000 through our Climate Action Fund.
