Grants of up to £3,000 Available to Create and Improve Outdoor Community Spaces (UK)

The Asda Foundation has launched its new Outdoor Community Spaces Fund, offering grants ranging from £500 to £3,000 for UK-based charities and not-for-profit organisations. With a total funding pot of up to £500,000, this initiative aims to improve or transform outdoor community spaces where people can gather and foster local pride.

Eligible projects include:

  • Transform an outdoor area, creating greener and more engaging community spaces.
  • Create or enhance community growing projects.
  • Enable community clean ups (Grants for community clear ups only will be capped at £500).

The fund is designed to create greener and more engaging community spaces, with a focus on increasing access for marginalised or vulnerable groups. Applicants are encouraged to propose projects that bring local communities together and make a lasting difference to outdoor spaces.

The deadline for applications is the 11th February 2025. However, potential applicants should note that the application window may close earlier if the total budget is reached.

To apply, organisations must first complete an online Eligibility Check through the Asda Foundation's Grant Management System. If eligible, they can then submit a full application, which will be reviewed within eight weeks.
