National Lottery (The) Grants to Support Local Climate Action (UK) – Deadline: 17th December 2025
The National Lottery Community Fund is inviting applications from community-led organisations for its National Lottery Awards for All England – Environment grant programme.
This funding is aimed at tackling environmental challenges at the local level. It supports projects that enable people to connect with, care for, and protect nature.
Grants of between £300 and £20,000 are available for projects lasting up to two years. Funding can support a wide range of activities, including:
• Community gardens,
• Rewilding.
• Outdoor learning such as forest schools,
• Tree planting,
• Repair and reuse session,
• Food-growing schemes,
• And energy-saving initiatives like solar panel installations.
Projects must deliver benefits for both people and the natural environment.
Applications are welcomed from constituted voluntary or community organisations, registered charities, charitable incorporated organisations (CIOs), not-for-profit companies, community interest companies (CICs), schools (if the project benefits the wider community), statutory bodies, community sports clubs, and community benefit societies.
The grant responds to the growing need for grassroots environmental action in the face of climate change and habitat loss.
The programme is currently open until 17th December 2025, and applications can be submitted at any time, provided they are made at least 16 weeks before the project is due to begin.
