£10,000 grants available to help make the most of green spaces

The National Grid is offering grants of up to £10,000 to support communities across the East and West Midlands, the South West, and South Wales to enhance their local environments and encourage more people to make the most of their green spaces.

The National Grid Electricity Distribution has teamed up with Localgiving to make a total of £500,000 in funding available for projects that use green spaces to bring communities together, encourage more wildlife and biodiversity, improve air quality, reduce noise and deliver health benefits, as well as creating employment and volunteering opportunities.
