Liverpool City Region Combined Authority Grants

Liverpool City Region Community Environment Fund 2026/27

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority

The Liverpool City Region Community Environment Fund is back for 2026-27 and is open now. It helps communities turn their ideas into action, creating greener, healthier and more resilient places for everyone. The fund supports community-led environmental projects. Your project could bring a neglected green space back to life, create better habitats for wildlife, help people grow or access local food, reduce energy use, encourage greener ways to travel or help people learn about climate change. The Combined Authority wants to hear from projects covering climate change and resilience, transport and active travel, water sustainability, accessible green spaces and biodiversity, carbon and environmental literacy, energy efficiency, and food sustainability. There are two grant streams. Grants of £1,000 to £4,999 are for smaller community projects and activities that can make a positive difference to the local environment. Grants of £5,000 to £30,000 are for larger projects that can deliver more substantial environmental and community benefits. The fund suits not-for-profit community groups and organisations, such as charities, schools, faith groups, residents' associations and 'Friends of' groups. It has already backed more than a hundred local projects, including community gardens, beekeeping, wildflower meadows and a cycling project for veterans. Before you apply, think carefully about which stream fits your project. The Combined Authority asks you to consider what you want to achieve, the activities you need to deliver and what a realistic budget looks like. A webinar explains the fund and what you will need to apply. The closing date is midnight on Monday 30 November 2026, so leave yourself enough time to prepare your application.
