Small Grants Scheme

The Live Here Love Here Small Grants Scheme is an incredible opportunity for local communities to apply for a grant between £500 to £3000 to improve their environment and promote a cleaner, greener and safer place to live. 
The Small Grants Scheme is funded by 10 local councils and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive and is supported by Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful. 

The Small Grants Scheme empowers volunteers to transform shared greenspaces for the benefit of the community and the environment. In doing so, the grant scheme aims to:

• Increase civic pride and improve the quality of local environment through the creation of quality, shared spaces
• Transform underused spaces into vibrant and valued community places by adding habitats and increasing access to visitors
• Deliver actions and projects that enable nature recovery and climate action
• Improve the health and wellbeing of communities whilst helping to improve and/or maintain public space 
• Enhance the quality of the local environment by reducing littering and dog fouling through community action
