We have exciting news! Our Seedcorn Grants are back and this year we have three funding opportunities groups across Midlothian (more information below). Could one be right for your group?
The fund is open to any constituted, non-profit distributing, and community-led group or organisation based in, and working in, Midlothian.
Deadline for application is Monday, 15th June 2025
- Young Changemakers (£2,000 Fund)
You can apply for up to £250. The Young Changemakers Fund is designed to engage children and young people (16-25) in climate-related activities. This fund supports projects that educate, inspire, and involve youth in environmental action, especially during the summer holidays.
- Growing Fund (£4,000 Fund)
You can apply for up to £500. The Growing Fund supports small-scale projects that enhance community gardens, green spaces, and sustainable growing initiatives. Whether starting a new project or improving an existing one, these grants aim to support communities around sustainability, biodiversity, and outdoor engagement.
- Community Action Fund (£9,000 Fund)
You can apply up to £1,500. The Community Action Fund supports new and existing projects to help them launch, grow, or become more resilient. Whether piloting an idea or building your capacity, these grants aim to empower community-action that focus on mitigation or adaptation to climate change, protecting natural spaces, or creating a fairer, healthier and more sustainable future.
