Details

The Community Action Fund supports new and existing projects to help them launch, grow, or become more resilient. Whether piloting an idea or building your capacity, these grants aim to empower community-action that focus on mitigation or adaptation to climate change, protecting natural spaces, or creating a fairer, healthier and more sustainable future.

Examples of what you could use the fund for include starting a repair café, community orchard or swap-shop, installing community solar panels or rainwater harvesting systems in your community building, organise a tree-planting action or plant a native wildflower meadow that supports local pollinators, undertake a citizen science project, organise a training or workshop to fill a skills gap or training need, get vital equipment that will help support your projects.
