Details

The primary goal of the Parks4Life Community Fund is to support community groups to deliver on their aim of bringing parks to life and make the best of parks across Scotland for everyone to enjoy now and the future.

Grants are available to community and Friends groups who work to improve, promote and develop a park or greenspace across Scotland. Funding could be used to help your group put on or expand an event to attract visitors to the park, skills training for your volunteers or something more practical such as a small planting scheme.

They will prioritise:

• Applications intending to “activate your park” through events such as a gala day or focussed park clean that will bring people to your park or greenspace.
• Promote the work or community and friends group and the role of the park or greenspace.
• Purchase of tools and materials that will help your group
• Applications from groups across Scotland and in particular groups where their park or greenspace is in an area that scores highly on the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD), particularly those in the 20% of most deprived areas.
