Community Growing Grant / South Cambridgeshire District Council/ Closes 31 March 2025
What is the aim of this funding?
As part of the cost of living support programme, South Cambridgeshire District Council have set up a Grant Scheme to help start Community Growing Projects across South Cambridgeshire. The funding is able to be spent on any capital costs associated with setting up a Community Growing Project, such as raised beds, gardening equipment, soil, and seeds.
Perhaps there is an unused piece of land in your area that could be transformed with the installation of a raised bed, or you volunteer at a Community Orchard that has space to install a raised bed to grow fresh vegetables. You may be part of an existing group or form a group specifically to create and maintain a Community Growing Project. As long as you fit the eligibility criteria and your project will benefit your community, you can apply for up to £500 from this grant to start it.
Who can apply?
An applicant might be:
- a Parish / Town Council
- community group (constituted and with a bank account)
- a School
- informal group (with the written support of their Parish Council/Town Council or District Councillor/s for the project).
District: South Cambridgeshire
Applications close: The Community Growing Grant will run until 31 March 2025 or until funds are exhausted.
