    The Action Earth programme in Scotland empowers people to take action and improve their local environment through volunteering. They have had a great response so far this year and are quickly running out of grants. Now is the time to apply!

    At this stage of the campaign they can only consider applications from projects which fulfil at least one of the following criteria:

    • Projects in more deprived areas of Scotland where there may be reduced local facilities and opportunities;
    • Projects which involve at least 35 volunteers and which make a substantial environmental impact;
    • Projects which involve groups of vulnerable people as volunteers;
    • Local Nature Reserves (LNRs).

    Groups of volunteers meeting the above criteria can apply for Action Earth grants of between £50-250 to run environmental activities in Scotland’s green spaces.

    Local Nature Reserve grants of up to £500 are also available for volunteer activities taking place on Local Nature Reserves (LNRs) such as wildlife recording or protecting and enhancing biodiversity.

    They can offer help and advice throughout the application process.
