Funding for Projects which Benefit People & the Environment

Grants of up to £2,000 are available to registered charities, not-for-profit organisations, schools, local authorities, and social housing providers across the UK and Republic of Ireland to support projects that positively impact local communities and the environment.

The Bupa Foundation Green Community Grants programme will fund practical initiatives which benefit both people and the planet’s health, with priority given to the regeneration of green spaces for community use, particularly in disadvantaged areas.

Examples of green projects could include:

• improving a local community garden for community use and recreational activities
• volunteer-led tree or flower planting to improve air quality and biodiversity
• creating an outdoor classroom or ‘forest school’ on school grounds
• creating a community food growing space

Since 2023 the Bupa Foundation has invested more than £1m in Green Community Grants including.

• over 270 schools creating outdoor classrooms, forest schools, sensory gardens and similar projects.
• over 200 community groups, charities and food banks for community allotments, parks, playgrounds and green space improvements.

Delivered in partnership with Groundwork as part of Bupa’s #HealthyCities campaign, the programme will be open to applications from the 1st June 2025 to the 30th June 2025.
