This grant, which is replacing the Community Environment Action Fund in 2021, promotes sustainable development by assisting small scale, non-profit environmental projects at local level.

For example, community gardens, allotments and compost schemes, rainwater conservation schemes, biodiversity projects, waste reduction initiatives, educational workshops and environmental exhibitions.
