Green Spaces Fund
The Greater Manchester Green Spaces Fund will give grants to communities to
improve local green spaces or create new ones where they are needed most.

Following its announcement earlier this year, the £2.6m Greater Manchester Green Spaces Fund is
now open to applications, seeking community projects that will make a real difference to their local area.
The fund makes small and large grants available for community groups wanting to create new spaces
or improve existing ones in their local area, particularly where there is currently poor local access to good
quality green space.
Projects should improve publicly accessible spaces through physical improvements to make them
better places for nature and people. These projects could take place in parks, community gardens,
streets, schools, housing estates, canals, streams, rivers and existing nature reserves.
Here’s some ways the fund could be used:
•
Improving existing or creating new accessible
greenspace for people and/or wildlife
•
Permanently greening streets
•
Creating new permanent parklets or pocket parks
•
Community gardening and food growing
•
Turning paved over areas to green areas
•
Cleaning up and restoring streams, rivers, canals
and ponds
Sow the City is the delivery partner for
Manchester and Trafford
We’ll be helping community groups in their application by;
•
Supporting groups to apply for the Green Spaces Fund and
other funding opportunities
•
Ensuring ideas generated by community groups are realistic
and achievable
•
Supporting groups to develop their skills and confidence in
project delivery
•
Developing the ongoing skills of community groups to ensure
sites can be maintained and activities will continue long term
