Environmental charity Hubbub have launched a brand new £300,000 fund to support community green spaces.

Community organisations are welcome to apply for a “Nature Hubs” grant of up to £6,000 to help enhance or create a green space that can be accessed by the local community to visit, relax and connect with nature in. This could be a community allotment which provides local residents with opportunities to grow their own produce; a green space to help with urban cooling; an area to support biodiversity and attract pollinators; or a space to engage the community on sustainable lifestyles.

Organisations interested in applying should do so here www.hubbub.org.uk/the-nature-hubs-fund and have until 11 January 2024 to apply. Successful organisations will receive their funding by the end of February 2024 to coincide with the start of the next growing season.
