About the Big Green Fund
We are pleased to launch The Big Green Fund for 2025. This initiative will see communities come together to help us make Stoke-on-Trent clean and green, by encouraging residents to take pride in where they live and promote positive mental health and well-being amongst the community.
We are so proud to support our communities with grants of up to £15,000 (three projects - total of £45,000- one area in the North, one area Central and one area South) so you can tackle projects such as:
- Introducing a community garden
- Creating a wildflower meadow
- Tidying up an unadopted alleyway
- Orchards
- Install a bird watching area
Residents will need to hit a set criteria to be in a chance of a successful application.
Applicants must follow the below criteria:
- Must be council owned land.
- If the applicant is a tenant of a council building/property then they must have an active lease in place for 5/10 years.
- Requirement for them to maintain the garden/improvements for a 5 year post improvement period.
- The council retains the funding for the project work and the work is delivered by council in house teams.
- Successful applicants awarded funds will be required to sign up to a maintenance licence agreement and provide adequate risk assessments and insurances for these duties.
