BGU Small Grant Programme 24/25

Bolton Green Umbrella Monday 08 September 2025

Our second Small Grants Programme has been running since June 2024 and so far 60 grants of £200 each have been given, having a very positive impact for small environmental groups all over Bolton. 

If you are part of an active “green” group and have not yet applied for our grant but think you may qualify then please don’t delay! Your group needs to be registered on the BGU website but if you are not it is very quick and easy to get registered by clicking the “Register” tab on the main menu and following the screen inputs for a “Local Group”
