Big Lottery’s Community Wildlife Programme

The Big Lottery Fund has teamed up with the BBC to launch the Community Wildlife Programme, which brings communities together to improve or protect the natural environment by raising awareness of threatened wildlife or places.

The programme celebrates 2010, the International Year of Biodiversity, by allowing local groups and communities to get more involved with, enhance and protect their local wildlife. Not-for-profit organisations, social enterprises, local councils and schools or health bodies may apply for support.

Grants of between £300 and £10,000 are being provided for one-year projects that improve rural or urban environments for people to enjoy or get people more active and healthier.

The programme has three funding rounds.  The deadlines for receipt of applications for each round are 21 July 2010; 22 September 2010 and 24 November 2010.
