The Bupa Foundation has launched a Green Community Grants Fund, which aims to support grass-roots projects promoting both people and planet health.
Dean launched his ‘Green Team’ in 2020, where he works with local schools to promote the Green Agenda. The group strongly believe in the power of practical community projects that contribute to the well-being of individuals and the sustainability of our environment.
The Bupa Foundation Grants range from £250 to £2,500. The organisation welcomes submissions from all schools, registered charities, and not-for-profit organizations across the UK.
The application window is now open and closes on the 30th June. You can submit your application through the following link: https://www.groundwork.org.uk/bupa-foundation-green-grants
To give you some inspiration, here are some example projects:
· Improving green spaces for community activities to improve wellbeing
· Tree planting to improve air quality and biodiversity
· A school wanting to create an outdoor classroom or forest school
· A community group who’d like to create an allotment
· A voluntary organisation wanting to install sustainable equipment, such as a heat pump
A dedicated grant panel will assess applications over the summer, and 100 successful applicants will be notified in September.
Should you have any questions or require further information about the grant, guidance can be found on the dedicated webpage. Alternatively, please feel free to reach out to the Groundwork team at 0121 2375 802 or via email at bupafoundationgreengrants@groundwork.org.uk.
Wishing you the best of luck with your application!
