This funding aims to help communities across the UK to address climate change. The National Lottery Community Fund are looking for projects that focus on the link between nature and climate. 
The National Lottery Community Fund want to fund projects that use nature to encourage more community-led climate action. The National Lottery Community Fund expect these projects to bring other important social and economic benefits. Like the creation of strong, resilient and healthy communities or the development of ‘green’ skills and jobs.
The National Lottery Community Fund are interested in projects that can do at least one of the following:
- Show how creating a deeper connection with nature will lead to changing people’s behaviours and greater care for the environment
- Show how by bringing nature back into the places we live and work, we can help communities to reduce or adapt to the impacts of climate change
Projects also need to show how they can achieve longer-term, larger change that goes beyond the communities they're directly working with.
Applications will be accepted from either:
- Local partnerships
- UK-wide partnerships which are delivered across at least two UK countries (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales).
The National Lottery Community Fund are looking to fund partnerships that are made up of a mix of organisations from different sectors. Both new partnerships and partnerships that have already been set up can be funded.
Projects can apply for up to £1.5 million for a period of 2 to 5 years. Most of the funding is expected to go to projects that request between £300,000 and £500,000.
