Funding Available to Improve Local Green Spaces
Charities and community groups in Leicestershire are being offered help from National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) to create or improve green spaces that can be enjoyed by local communities.
Support is available to develop parks, gardens, open spaces, raised flowerbeds and living walls in public areas.
National Grid Electricity Distribution’s Community Matters Fund is also offering money to improve accessibility to green spaces by creating paths, ramps and seating.
Projects boosting biodiversity, such as bee hives, ponds, tree, hedge and wildflower planting, will be supported too.
Grant Funding Available
The Community Matters Fund is offering grants of up to £5,000 for registered charities, while unregistered organisations can apply for up to £2,000.
Applications close at 5pm on Friday 26 June.
Access to green spaces is widely recognised for being mentally and physically restorative, helping to reduce stress and anxiety.
Apply via the Community Matters Fund application page.
