Details

Young people across the Scottish Borders are full of inspiring ideas to help tackle the climate crisis and promote community climate action– and SBCAN is here to help bring those ideas to life. They're inviting youth groups, schools, clubs and voluntary groups to apply for up to £750 to run a project that makes a difference in your community.

This fund will support projects or activities that include:

• Community Action which benefits our planet
• Developing Sustainable practices
• Encouraging Climate Resilience and Adaptations
• Learning new skills and discovering nature

They are particularly keen to support projects which show:

• Youth-led projects where young people are involved in taking ownership and deciding what they want;
• Collaborative working between groups;
• Inter-generational working;
• Groups that promote inclusive activity with under-represented groups;
• Projects which support the young people to achieve recognition for their achievements- for example Dynamic Youth Award Climate Action Challenge/ John Muir Award/ Saltire Awards
• A long-term vision for Climate Action within your school/ group.

Projects must take place in 2025.
