Local Places for Nature
A capital grant scheme intended to enable communities in
Wales to restore and enhance nature.
Local Places for
Nature is a capital grant scheme intended to enable areas of highest
deprivation, peri-urban/urban communities, and/or those with least access to
nature in Wales to restore and enhance nature 'on your doorstep'.
Certain types of project can be funded anywhere in Wales – please see
below.
This funding is
primarily for:
- projects located or
servicing the needs of communities in the 50% most deprived
areas OR
- community food growing
projects anywhere in Wales OR
- organisations/groups
representing a diverse ethnic community from any part of Wales
If the project area
falls within the 50% LEAST deprived of areas, you may still be able to apply
for funding. Particularly, if your project will increase the involvement of a
wider range of people in natural heritage, and/or if those affected by the
project have a specific need. Please email us with brief details, including the
postcode of the project site, so we can further advise.
We are offering two
levels of grant:
1. £10,000
to £100,000 for capital projects that will acquire, restore and enhance
nature in areas of deprivation
2. £100,000
to £250,000. We are offering a limited number of grants up to £250,000. We
are particularly interested if your project is located in or near one of
the 50% most deprived communities or if you are engaging with a specific need.
Deprivation is measured using the overall deprivation measure in the Welsh
Index of Multiple Deprivation. Please use your postcode to check your eligibility against the overall deprivation measure
using the interactive map.
If you are seeking
a grant between £100,000 and £250,000 please e-mail natur@heritagefund.org.uk before proceeding any
further with the process, but please continue to read this grant criteria.
We are particularly
looking for projects that can be seen 'from your doorstep'. This means where
people live, work, access public services, travel and spend their leisure
time.
