The Tree Council is pleased to reopen their Branching Out small grants fund to support a new season of community tree planting. Over the past 20 years, they have supported community groups, volunteer Tree Wardens and many others to plant hundreds of thousands of trees across the UK, thanks to generous Tree Partners and other supporters.
Grants are available to assist in undertaking tree and hedge planting projects taking place during the 2025/26 winter planting season. Branching Out is designed for community groups, schools, not-for-profits, residents associations, Tree Warden Networks, charities and many more.
The closing date for applications is 14 November 2025 at midnight.
Grants are available for charities, community groups, and other not-for-profit organisations to deliver projects with a positive impact for communities along the East Coast mainline route.
Grants are available for not-for-profit organisations to deliver projects and activities that support LGBT+ young people’s needs as they grow into adulthood.
The Creating Connections Grant Programme will be awarding 20+ grants of up to £7,500 to charities and community groups who are helping to reduce loneliness and isolation for the over 65s.
