Community Spaces

Image: Community Spaces logo Community Spaces is a £50 million open grants programme funded through the Big Lottery Fund’s Changing Spaces initiative and managed by Groundwork UK on behalf of an experienced national consortium of BTCV, The Civic Trust, Federation of City Farms and Community Gardens, Green Space, Natural England and The Wildlife Trusts.

The programme empowers community groups to improve public spaces in their neighbourhood. It responds directly to people’s aspirations to have better places on their doorsteps – more interesting places for children to play; safer places for people of all ages to sit; greener spaces where people and nature can grow and flourish.

Create better local environments
Increase people’s access to quality local spaces for interaction, play and recreation
Increase the number of people actively involved in developing and running a practical environmental project that is visible in their community
Improve partnerships between communities, support organisations and local authorities
