Applications are now open for Basildon Borough's UK Shared Prosperity (UKSPF) Landscape Maintenance and Volunteer Programme Fund
Following the announcement of £1.2 million of UK Shared Prosperity Funding (UKSPF) for Basildon Borough, we are pleased to announce that applications are now open for landscape maintenance and volunteer programme work.
What do we mean by landscape maintenance and volunteer programme work?
As part of Basildon's UKSPF objectives there is a need to create and improve our public realm and green spaces. Some of the UKSPF funding is being used to improve the public realm, introducing new planters and planting beds to create urban green spaces - but that is just the first step. For our green spaces to be successful they need stewardship.
The best green spaces are those that are cared for, used and respected by the community. The work proposed under the title of this fund is twofold:
Outcome 1: Landscape Maintenance - to improve and maintain green spaces.
Outcome 2: Volunteer Programme - to develop and engage with a volunteer group to support the maintenance and long-term stewardship of green spaces.
Applications must be submitted by Monday 19 August 2024
