Natural Kirklees Small Grant Scheme
The 2023 Small Grant Scheme is now closed
As part of Natural Kirklees ongoing relationship with Kirklees Council, we seek funding from them, to cover our activities. It is our intention to hold an annual small grant scheme and to additionally provide finance to our member groups for the eradication of Japanese Knotweed.
The majority of our member groups have little recourse to funding themselves and while there are funding opportunities within the community, these are often difficult to obtain or are not relevant to the groups.
Natural Kirklees fund small projects that can benefit the general public and be completed usually within a few months, usually up to a value of £750.
The trustees visit each of the successful applicants to see for themselves the impact the grant will or has had. This has proven to be an interesting and rewarding exercise in its own right and enables us to publicise the work being undertaken and more importantly the excellent work that the volunteers do to improve the green spaces here in Kirklees for all residents and visitors.
