Putting the green in Greenwich

Do you take pride in Greenwich and have an idea that will improve the local environment?

Perhaps there is a piece of waste ground near you that could do with a spruce-up, or maybe there's some other initiative that would cheer up you and your neighbours?

You can get funds for your project by applying for a Greenwich Pride grant. You can apply for a small grant of £50 right up to £1,500 for a larger project.

Walk to school

Local school children have been getting fitter and also putting the environment first by choosing to walk to school.

Some schools operate a Walking Bus to allow pupils to walk to school together, and many have a School Travel Plan that encourage safer walking, cycling and public transport use for journeys to and from school.
