Do you have an idea or project in need of funding? The Hub runs 6 small grants programmes -Taste and Grow Grant; Climate Festival Grant; Active Travel Communities Grant; Youth Reuse and Sharing Grant; Climate Ready Places Grant; and Climate Change in Your Community Grant.
Taste and Grow Grant
‘Taste and Grow’ is a grant for primary schools and nurseries to access a package of support and resources designed to engage children and their parents/carerson topics related to food, growing and climate change in partnership with a local community growing group.
The first round of funding will be available to schools/nurseries in or near East Kilbride, Gartcosh or Lesmahagow. We expect the grant to be available to more communities for the second round.
Applications for the first round are open now until 4 April 2025 (start of the Easter holidays) for those looking to participate before the summer holidays.
Climate Festival Grant
The purpose of the Climate Action Festival Grant is to enable community groups and organisations to stage an event(s) during the Lanarkshire Climate Action Festival Fortnight 8-21 September 2025.
Hosting an event during the Lanarkshire Climate Action Festival is an opportunity to raise awareness of climate actions in your community, increase the profile of your organisation and recruit new volunteers.
Climate festival grants are available up to £250
Active Travel Communities Grant
The Active Travel Communities Grant is a grant of up to £1000 for Lanarkshire groups to build and grow active travel communities in their area by demonstrating and promoting the benefits of walking, wheeling and cycling. Transport is the biggest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in Scotland today. Travelling more actively can reduce emissions, benefit air quality and improve our health and wellbeing.
Applications are now open until 20 July 2025.
Youth Reuse and Sharing Grant
The Youth Reuse and Sharing Grant is a grant of up to £1000 for projects that involve young people aged between 16 to 25 years old, to introduce a more sustainable way of buying and using products through enabling shared access, providing reusable items or finding new ways to repurpose unused items.
Applications are now open and will be reviewed monthly.
Climate Ready Places Grant
The Climate Ready Places Grant is a grant of up to £2000 for Lanarkshire groups to enable engagement with local communities to help start a project within your area that is related to the ability to recover from, or to mitigate vulnerability to climate related hazards, such as flooding, storm damage and droughts.
This project should allow the community the capacity to prepare, respond to and bounce back from the impacts of climate change and extreme weather events.
Applications are now open and will be reviewed monthly.
Climate Change in Your Community Grant
The Climate Change in Your Community Grant is funding of up to £3000 to enable community groups and organisations who haven’t previously had climate conversations or been involved in climate action, including those who are more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, to utilise climate knowledge from the Lanarkshire Climate Action Hub and the artistic skills of a creative practitioner(s) to host events with their community. The events are to engage and explore conversations with your community on understanding climate change, how it affects you and how climate actions can help you.
Applications are now open and will be reviewed monthly.
