This programme funds practical projects which benefit both people and planet health, with priority given to the regeneration of green spaces for community use.

As part of Bupa’s #HealthyCities campaign, the Bupa Foundation has launched the Green Community Grants programme. 

Small grants of between £250 to £2,500 are available to fund up to 100% of project costs for proposals which benefit local communities and the environment. The funding is delivered in partnership with Groundwork.

It is open for application to schools, registered charities, not-for-profit organisations, local authorities and social housing providers.

Some examples of what grant awards could be used for are:

• 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

This is not an exhaustive list and other project ideas are welcomed.

The closing date for applications is 12pm on Friday 30 June 2023.
