Environment and Sustainability

Are you working to reduce energy consumption, tackle climate change, boost recycling or create a nature reserve? Do you have ideas to make your community more sustainable? Are you encouraging wildlife back into your neighbourhood? If so, you could qualify for a grant from our Environment and Sustainability Grants programme.

Grants of up to £15,000 are available for groups including charities, voluntary groups, schools, colleges, local authorities and Community Interest Companies working in the nine boroughs surrounding Heathrow Airport: Ealing, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Slough, Spelthorne, Richmond, Runnymede, South Bucks, or Windsor & Maidenhead.

This programme has two rounds in 2026. Please don't apply before the round opens or after the deadline, as your application will not be eligible. 

To apply, your group must have a constitution and a bank account that needs two signatories.  Before commencing any grant application, you must read through our Grant Making Guidelines (PDF).

If you would like to discuss your project please phone us on 01895 839916 or email us with your questions at hct@groundwork.org.uk. Please consider the time you will need to complete the online form before the closing date deadline as late entries will not be accepted.
