Asda Foundation recognises the importance of having safe and accessible outdoor spaces in communities across the UK, so this year we will be providing up to £500,000 of grant funding to help grassroots groups improve or transform their local outdoor community spaces.
Whether it’s cleaning up a green space, delivering collaborative growing projects or transforming an unused area for local people to use, the Outdoor Community Spaces Fund can be used to create or enhance an outdoor space near you.
This grant is for projects which meet at least one of the following aims:
- Transform an outdoor area, creating greener and more engaging community spaces.
- Create or enhance community growing projects.
- Enable community clean ups*
*Grants for community clear ups only will be capped at £500.
What can we fund:
The following list provides some examples of the kinds of items and services that our funding could be used for. Please note that this list is not exhaustive, but any items and activities that we fund must still fit within our general criteria as detailed on ‘Who Can Apply’.
- Materials to build and transform outdoor areas, such as planters, raised beds, benches, paint
- Equipment to be able to deliver a community clear up, such as litter pickers, bin bags, hi-vis vests (items relating to community clear ups are capped at £500 in total)
- Machinery hire/purchase, e.g. rotavator hire (this must fit within a more comprehensive application and not be the only element we would fund)
- Permanent fixtures and features, such as sheds, outdoor furniture, pathways, gates and fencing
- Gardening tools and equipment, such as spades, wheelbarrows, polytunnels, water butts, compost bins
- Plants, shrubs, trees, bulbs etc.
