Your organisation's main aims and objectives must fit with one of the two funding themes:

  1. Contributing to nature recovery and responding to the climate emergency
  2. Improving nature-rich spaces and access to them

Whilst your organisational aims and objectives should fit one of these two themes, funding can also be used for a wider range of sustainable activities, including recycling, litter picking, beach cleans or sustainable transport.
