“The climate and nature emergency affects us all, but local action can make a real difference.”

A new fund from the National Lottery is looking to fund community-led projects that improve the environment and help people connect with and enjoy nature where they live.

You can use the funding to:

  • start a new activity or continue an existing one
  • help your organisation adapt to new challenges
  • run one-off events that have a clear environmental benefit.

Grants are available of £300 to £20,000 for up to two years. Find out more about the kinds of projects that will be funded. You can also view a summary of the questions.

Application deadline: 17 December 2025
