The applications are now welcoming any topic to do with the following:
- Children and Young People (example a sports club looking for new kits, older youth group wanting to learn new skills)

The Great Big Green Week – Funding
Our Great Big Green Week Community Fund supports community groups to organise local events, activities and festivals during the Great Big Green Week 24 September – 2 October 2022.
These should engage the local community and celebrate action and progress being made on climate change.
Update May 2022: Following the deadline of our Large Grants Programme, we recommend that applicants read the criteria carefully and include a detailed budget breakdown in your application, as we have a limited pot of funding and are significantly oversubscribed.
We want to support activity/ events that:
In your application we ask that your event/ activity meets ONE of the following:
- Empower local groups to create new connections locally that support new people and organisations to take climate action locally. E.g. local businesses, sports clubs, cultural organisations and faith groups.
- Led by or in partnership with groups who are underrepresented within the climate movement. E.g. ethnic minority, disability or economically deprived.
- In locations with no existing green week or related activity. Or, where the event takes existing or previously funded activity to a new level.
- Engage local politicians and/or councillors in events happening in their constituency.
- Support engagement across generations and encourage intergenerational dialogue
