Grant News
Grants of up to £2,000 are available to community, youth and voluntary groups from across the UK that want to bring local people together to transform urban areas by sowing and growing UK native wildflowers and/or fungi.
The funding, which is being made available through the charity Grow Wild (an initiative of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew), will support activities and costs such as:
- seeds, plants, soil
- tools and materials
- events and workshops
- specialist experts and contactor costs
- staff costs related to project delivery
The programme will support twenty-three community-led projects that benefit both wildlife and people, with a particular focus on engaging:
- young people (aged 12-25)
- people experiencing disadvantage or reduced access to services
- people who are less engaged with others in their local community
- people who face barriers to connecting with nature
- disabled people
Successful groups can also apply for a £500 follow-on grant for spring 2027 to support ongoing activities, along with access to tailored online training sessions and opportunities to connect with other participating groups.
Applications close at 3pm on the 4th February 2026.
