green projects including: local kitchen gardens,
community allotments, urban orchards, outdoor gyms, conservation
initiatives, and natural play areas.
Approximately 5,000 residents across the
country have benefited from our national Community Grants Programme since
2010 – that’s 80+ local projects benefitting from over £260,000 of

Our Young
Ambassadors programme is designed to help shape and
champion youth activity through the recruitment of a team of 16-25
