\"\"\/<\/p>\n

\n Charities and community groups in Milton Keynes are being offered help from National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) to create or improve green spaces.\n <\/p>\n

Support is available to develop parks, gardens, open spaces, raised flowerbeds and living walls in public areas.<\/p>\n

National Grid Electricity Distribution\u2019s Community Matters Fund is also offering money to improve accessibility to green spaces by creating paths, ramps and seating.<\/p>\n

Projects boosting biodiversity, such as bee hives, ponds, tree, hedge and wildflower planting will be supported too.<\/p>\n

The Community Matters Fund is offering grants up to \u00a35,000 for registered charities, while unregistered organisations can apply for up to \u00a32,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Access to green spaces is widely recognised for being mentally and physically restorative, reducing stress and anxiety.<\/p>\n

Projects supporting underserved or vulnerable groups to overcome barriers to benefiting from natural settings are particularly encouraged to apply to the fund.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs environmental challenges continue to grow, protecting and enhancing green spaces has never been more important,” said\u00a0Laura Bartle, NGED\u2019s Head of Environment and Sustainability.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese spaces play a vital role in supporting biodiversity, strengthening climate resilience, improving health and wellbeing and creating more vibrant, connected communities. We all have a part to play in caring for the environment around us and we\u2019re proud to support initiatives that help protect and enhance green spaces for the future,” Laura added.<\/p>\n

In total, NGED is offering \u00a3250,000 to support communities across the South West, Midlands, and South Wales to enhance local environments and create healthier, more connected places.<\/p>\n
