What is it? Supported by the Big Lottery Fund and managed by Groundwork UK, the £57.5m Community Spaces fund was set up in 2008 to empower people to create or improve green spaces in their communities, thus creating better environments for children to play in and safer places to be enjoyed by everyone in the community.
How much is on offer? Small grants of between £10,000 and £25,000 and medium grants of between £25,001 and £49,000 are available.
What will it fund? Proposed projects that look to make lasting improvements to green community areas such as gardens and parks; areas used for informal games and sports; village greens; play areas; nature reserves; and ponds. The fund encourages applications from youth groups for youth-led projects that demonstrate how young people will be involved, but the main project contact and applicant must be over 18.
