Greenspace scotland and Groundwork are encouraging community groups across urban and rural Scotland to submit their applications for a grant of up to £12,000 to improve local greenspaces.
The current funding round closes for applications at 12 noon on Friday 27 November 2015, with the next opportunity to apply occurring in early 2016.
Projects that will get the green light as a result of the funding will include new pocket parks, sports facilities, woodland walks and community gardens.
Greenspace are encouraging online applications from a wide range of organisations including: voluntary/community organisations, registered charities, community councils, development trusts, social enterprises, local authorities, health bodies, and housing organisations. Other not-for-profit organisations might also be eligible.
Applications will be shortlisted with three projects in each Tesco region moving forward to a Tesco in store customer vote and will receive grants of either £8,000, £10,000 or £12,000.

The grants programme is managed by Groundwork, working in Scotland with greenspace scotland, and funded by Tesco customers from the proceeds of the 5p charge for plastic carrier bags as a result of a government carrier bag levy.
