The Edinburgh and Lothians Greenspace Trust (ELGT) today launched a small grants programme aimed at groups and communities developing or improving community gardens for those affected by health and social inequalities.
Grants of up to £750 will be available for new and existing schemes, and could be spent on, for example, tools, materials, and volunteer expenses.
ELGT (whose work to use unused private gardens in north/central Edinburgh as allotments we covered in Issue 202) will administer the 'Growing Communities for Health' fund, with the backing of City of Edinburgh Council and NHS Lothians.
