Community groups, schools and other not for profit organisations in England, Scotland, and Wales have the opportunity to apply for grants of up to £6,000 to create new green spaces or to improve existing ones. The grants are being offered by the environmental charity Hubbub in partnership with Starbucks.
50 grants are available.
The Nature Hubs Fund is part of Hubbub and Starbucks’ wider ambition to build stronger, greener communities across the UK. This fund will improve access and connection to nature in the communities Starbucks serves, by creating green spaces within a 5km radius of Starbucks stores.
The fund will provide grants to projects that meet one or more of four themes:
- Increasing access to nature
- Bringing people together
- Upskilling the community
- Building climate resilience
These spaces can provide a number of benefits, including:
- Improved air quality
- Increased biodiversity
- Improved mental and physical health
The closing date for applications is 3pm on the 11th January 2024.
