*Applications have now closed*

We are pleased to launch The Big Green Fund. This initiative will see communities come together to help us make Stoke-on-Trent clean and green, by encouraging residents to take pride in where they live and promote positive mental health and well-being amongst the community.

We are so proud to support our communities with grants of up to £15,000 (six projects - total of £90K - two areas in the North, two areas Central and two South) so you can tackle projects such as:

  • Introducing a community garden
  • Creating a wildflower meadow
  • Tidying up an upadopted alleyway
  • Orchards
  • Install a bird watching area

Residents will need to hit a set criteria to be in a chance of a successful application.
