Grant News

Grants of up to £8,000 are available for volunteer-led projects that support historic designed landscapes across the UK.

Provided through the Gardens Trust Community Grants programme, the funding helps volunteer groups promote the conservation, understanding, and enjoyment of these landscapes, which can include historic parks, gardens, and cemeteries.

Intended as seed funding, the grants aim to help kick-start or develop initiatives such as restoration planning, establishing Friends groups, conducting research, or delivering volunteer training schemes.

Previously funded projects include:

• Your Park Bristol and Bath, which is enhancing sustainable natural habitats across Bath’s green spaces to boost biodiversity with volunteer support
• The Arnos Vale Cemetery Trust for the upkeep and restoration of the Arcadian Victorian cemetery

The closing date for applications is the 14th November 2025.
