Green Community Grants
In 2023 and 2024 the Bupa Foundation invested more than £1m in Green Community Grants. The grants run as part of our #HealthyCities initiative - where Bupa employees, suppliers and customers walk to unlock money for charity.
Thousands of schools and charities applied, and we've funded over 500 green community grants across 2023 and 2024 in the UK. This includes:
over 270 schools creating outdoor classrooms, forest schools, sensory gardens and similar projects.
over 200 community groups, charities and food banks for community allotments, parks, playgrounds and green space improvements.
A big thank you our partner Groundwork who are administering this programme, and congratulations to the schools and charities..
These grants help to make places and spaces greener, empowering schools and charities to put their ideas into action.
