Edition: March 2026
Our Community Climate Fund offers up to £5,000 for local community organisations to deliver projects that reduce carbon emissions while creating lasting community value.
These climate-friendly initiatives often save money and support a more sustainable future. We support new projects that address:
- Energy consumption
- Water usage
- Minimising waste
- Biodiversity
- Climate-friendly travel.
The broader community benefits of health and wellbeing, education and social inclusion are considerations too.
We can fund the purchase of materials and hired contractors needed to deliver your works, events or campaigns. We cannot fund core cost or retrospective funding for existing projects.
Get inspired
You can explore successful projects on our website. From community gardens and village halls to community fridges, youth clubs, and sports facilities, there are countless ways this grant can help your organisation become more sustainable.
Opportunities to apply
The next round opens at the beginning of April with further opportunities in June, September and January.
