2014 Communities Grants Programme
Trellis (Scotland's therapeutic horticulture charity) are delighted to announce that due to our lobbying at the PAHA (Physical Activity Health Alliance) Conference, 25th February 2010, we can confirm that gardening is a physical activity supported by the Lottery 2014 Communities Grants programme.
2014 Communities is a new micro grants programme, offering local sports clubs, voluntary and community organisations, community councils and schools grants of £300 to £1,000 to support and stimulate grass roots involvement in sport and physical activity. In year one of the programme, Big Lottery Fund has £0.5 million to award in grants. 2014 Communities will continue to operate up to the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in 2014, but what we focus our funding on and how we deliver our funding may change based on learning leading up to 2014.
