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.
Small grants are available for local projects, activities and organisations that have charitable aims and that will be of real direct benefit to families.
Prosper are offering unrestricted small grants to charities and not-for-profit organisations. Grants can be used flexibly and can cover core or project costs.
Leeds Building Society are offering grants to registered charities, focusing on projects that address financial stress; security and refuge; and/or quality and suitability of housing.
