More information

We will generally seek to fund properly constituted not-for-profit organisations, such as charities, community groups and schools. However, we will also consider smaller groups as appropriate. We welcome applications from projects from across London but priority will be given to those based in the areas where we work with the Local Authority to deliver household recycling and waste services. These include the following boroughs: Watford Brent Haringey Westminster Tower Hamlets Southwark Lambeth Richmond Kingston Merton Sutton Croydon Bromley

1. Places and spaces that people can enjoy that are greener and more attractive.

Projects we're interested in funding

We want to see creative and innovative ideas that enhance greenery across the country, like building a park on a disused rail line in the sky, creating a community garden, or installing a wifi network in a park, whatever you think will make your local greenspace an even better place to be. We’re thinking parks, public gardens, outdoor community kitchens, city farms, cemeteries – but really it’s anything that’s got a bit of greenery that you think could do with a little sprucing up! We'll also fund projects that will give people the skills required to look after parks. Remember though, projects that are in privately owned gardens, or schools and public grounds that don’t have public access wouldn’t be eligible.

The outcomes of our fund

We want projects to create improvements to free, publicly accessible green space, as well as provide local employment opportunities through the creation of maintenance projects, provide training and work experience opportunities for those in the local community, and promote green open spaces with the local community.

Our Partners also want to help!

Our Partners are also happy to support your projects by donating landscape consumables and cutting-edge equipment including brushcutters / grass trimmers, mowers, hand tools, gloves and other personal protective equipment. When pitching to our fund let us know if you need any of the listed equipment.
