Not-for-profit organisations with a turnover of £300,000 or less as well as schools in England, Scotland and Wales can apply now for grants of up to £2,000.

Successful applicants must be able to demonstrate that their project delivers improvements against at least one of the following Key Performance Targets:

   - Delivers real environmental benefit.
   - People have better access to/are more likely to use their local environment.
   - People have improved their lives through participation in an environmental activity.
   - Activity delivers not only an immediate improvement but also an ongoing plan to ensure the improvement is sustained.
