The Foundation is inviting local grassroots community organisations with an income of less than £250,000 to apply to their new £500,000 fund which will support improving or transforming an outdoor space by August 2025.

- Transform an outdoor area, creating greener and more engaging community spaces.
- Create or enhance community growing projects.
- Enable community clean ups. (The maximum grant is £500.)
Applications are encouraged that:
- Increase access to outdoor spaces, particularly for marginalised or vulnerable groups of people.
- Bring local communities together.
- Make a lasting and demonstrable difference to an outdoor space.
- Enable groups to undertake a project that truly enhances a local space.
The funding can support a range of costs including but not limited to:

- Equipment to be able to deliver a community clear up.
- Machinery hire/purchase.
- Permanent fixtures and features (eg, sheds, outdoor furniture, pathways, gates and fencing).
