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.
A wide range of UK registered charities based and working in the UK can apply for one-off grants of up to £5,000 for garden projects or up to £10,000 for building or indoor projects.
The FCC Community Action Fund provides grants to not-for-profit organisations to support with the costs of making physical improvements to single amenity sites that are open and accessible to the general public.
Funding is available to help parish and town councils, community organisations, faith groups, community interest companies and even sports teams get started on clean power projects that benefit their local areas.
