The National Lottery Community Fund - Together for Our Planet
Created: 01/09/2021
News/Events Category: Funding and FinanceThe National Lottery Community Fund's Together for Our Planet programme will offer grants (between £1,000 - £10,000) to support communities across the UK to take action on climate change.
Projects should reflect what matters to your community and what climate action means for you. They can be small in scale and might be new plans for your community or might be about celebrating the work you’re already doing. They could cover an area like:
- food;
- transport;
- energy;
- waste and consumption; and/or
- the natural environment.
All projects must be about developing a community-led climate action project. Your project will also need to meet at least two of these criteria:
- It supports the development of longer-term climate action within communities (that is, taking place after the COP26 event in November).
- It encourages communities to plan for the climate emergency - to consider what climate action could mean to them and why it matters.
- It celebrates the importance of community-led climate action and encourages more people to get involved.
- It builds resilience in communities that are hardest hit by climate change.
- It provides jobs, skills or training opportunities for communities which support climate action.
