Meet the Funder: WMCA Community Green Grants

Join SCVO, Dudley CVS and The West Midlands Combined (WMCA) to find out how you can apply for funding through their Community Green Grants (West Midlands). The free Zoom session is on Tuesday 8th March 2022, 10am. Book your place on this session here.

Community Green Grants aim is to improve community access to green space. The funding is open to any eligible group or organisation based in the West Midlands. Areas of green deprivation are a priority.

Examples of potential projects include:

• Nature playgroups that give children and families with no regular access to green space an opportunity to experience hands on activities
• Activities run at community gardens/open spaces/parks, such as tree planting, gardening, urban greening, growing fruit and vegetables
• Development of new community green spaces that increase local access
• Projects that significantly improve the biodiversity of the area
• Projects that increase or improve green/blue (canal, rivers etc.) spaces close to where people live

This session will cover:

• The different levels of funding available
• How you can apply for funding
• The process
