Funding available for parish and town council to enhance green spaces
The National Lottery Heritage Fund, in collaboration with National Trust and Natural England, launched a £15 million fund to enhance green spaces open to parish and town councils.
The fund, designed to help parish and town councils and community groups, will offer grants ranging from £250,000 to £1 million. These grants aim to support projects that create or improve accessible green spaces, boost biodiversity, and contribute to environmental sustainability.
The fund is part of the Heritage Fund’s new initiative, Nature Town and Cities, which aims to enable the transformation of 100 places into green spaces in urban areas.
Expressions of interest for the fund are open until 12 November 2024. Eligible projects must focus on improving access to nature and delivering long-term environmental benefits for local communities. It is important to note that if your initial proposal is successful, you will be invited to submit a full application between 16 December 2024 and 7 March 2025.
