2025 Green Community Grants

Groundwork and the Bupa Foundation have offered over half a million pounds to schools, PTA’s and community organisations for the third year, thanks to the Green Community Grants programme.

271 schools and community groups have been offered over £500,000 in 2025 Green Community Grants to revitalise green spaces and create happier and healthier places and spaces in towns and cities.

Offers have been shared with 132 schools and 139 community organisations to transform outdoor classrooms, community allotments, sensory gardens and other neglected green spaces.

Together, we will improve green space, create forest schools, start community allotments and more. 

The programme is closed for applications.
