COVID-19 has demonstrated just how important our city's amazing green spaces are for Londoners' quality of life. The Mayor wants to ensure that all Londoners can access open spaces and live in green neighbourhoods. The new Grow Back Greener grants will fund projects across the capital that will make our city greener and give Londoners the chance to get involved.
Grants of between £5,000 and £50,000 are available for projects across London that will improve and create green spaces, green the built environment, and help us adapt to climate change. This could include improving parks, creating community gardens, cleaning up nature reserves and waterways, installing sustainable drainage, planting trees or greening streets. The fund will prioritise projects located in areas of the city with poor access to open space and nature.
Projects must be completed between November 2020 and June 2021, and applications are open to civil society organisations and local authorities.Applications must be submitted by 5pm on Monday 5 October.
