Climate Action Fund: Our Shared Future

The National Lottery Community Fund is investing in a greener, fairer future with the Climate Action Fund – Our Shared Future. This exciting opportunity offers £500,000 to £1.5 million for ambitious, long-term projects that put communities at the heart of climate action.

But this isn’t just about planting trees or recycling more. It’s about reaching people where they are—connecting climate action to everyday life, and making it relevant, inclusive, and inspiring.

💡 What’s the goal?

To support bold, lasting change that can be scaled or replicated across the UK. The fund is looking for projects that:

Are led by diverse partnerships, not just environmental groups

Engage underrepresented voices, especially those facing poverty or discrimination

Use storytelling and creativity to inspire action

Help communities influence policy and decision-makers

Turn climate concern into practical, everyday action

🤝 Who can apply?

Only formal partnerships—a mix of community groups, public bodies, environmental experts, and creative organisations. The key is collaboration and community representation.

📅 Deadline

Applications are open until 17 December 2025. With high demand expected, only the strongest, most innovative ideas will move forward.
