Overview
Brent Together Towards Zero is a small grants programme from Brent Council. It supports projects that help tackle the climate and ecological emergency in Brent. The aim is to make neighbourhoods greener, cleaner and more environmentally friendly, and to encourage community-led climate action across the borough. You can apply for up to £5,000 for one-off activities with a clear beginning and end. Round 5 opened on 15 June 2026 and is open now. The page gives no closing date. Funding runs until spring 2027, or until funds run out, so it makes sense to apply sooner rather than later. Eligible ideas include re-use and repair projects, recycling and waste reduction, community gardens and food-growing, environmental education and workshops, community campaigns and challenges, and community-scale energy efficiency work such as energy saving workshops. The list is not exhaustive, and the council encourages creative ideas. The fund suits individual residents, constituted community groups, tenant and resident associations, faith groups, charities, housing associations, social enterprises and local businesses with a clear community benefit. New residents and newly formed groups are particularly welcome. You must be 18 or over and based in Brent, and so must your project. Your application should show how the benefits will continue after the funding ends. One practical caveat: the grant cannot be used for projects that are only about tree planting. If your project involves planters on the public highway, talk to Brent's Highways team early and think about pedestrian safety, accessibility, insurance and upkeep.

Full details from Brent Council
Round 5 offers up to £5,000 for community projects tackling climate change and improving the environment in Brent. It opened on 15 June 2026 and runs until spring 2027 or until the budget is used. No exact closing date is published. Residents, community organisations and eligible local businesses can apply for a one-off project with lasting local benefit. The applicant and project must be based in Brent. The council page says applicants must be 18 or over; the linked guidance says over 18, so applicants aged 18 should confirm with the council. Eligible applicants include residents acting for their community, constituted groups, tenant or resident associations, faith groups, charities, housing associations, social enterprises and local businesses delivering community benefit. Read the round 5 guidance and submit the council’s linked online form. Gather community support, permissions and a cost breakdown first. Contact ecogrants@brent.gov.uk for a paper form or clarification of the age and repeat-application rules. Apply while funds remain; spring 2027 is an approximate funding horizon, not a confirmed closing date.
Download and read the guidance notes first, then use the apply link on the Brent Council page. If you need help with your application, or would prefer a paper form, email ecogrants@brent.gov.uk. After you apply, the team will contact you about supporting documents, which you should supply within 2 weeks.
