Grants of up to £40,000 are available for community-led projects that increase the amount and quality of accessible, nature-rich green space.
The Greater Manchester Combined Authority makes this funding available through the Greater Manchester Green Spaces Fund for projects that improve local green spaces or create new ones, particularly in the areas where people need it most.
Projects could include:
- improving existing or creating new accessible green space for people and/or wildlife
- permanently greening streets
- creating new permanent parklets or pocket parks
- community gardening/food growing
- turning paved-over areas to green areas
- cleaning up and restoring streams, rivers, canals, and ponds
Eligible organisations include charities, community groups, CICs, social enterprises, tenant and resident associations, schools and academy trusts.
Groups who have been funded by the Green Spaces Fund in rounds 3 to 5 may not apply to round 6.
A total of £2.6 million is available.
The closing date for applications is the 14th August 2025.
