SF&G are delighted that in 2024 we will once again be partnering with the Hilden Charitable Fund to award Children’s Summer Activity Grants to our members, helping to get children learning and playing in nature this summer.
Last year we supported 26 SF&G members with grants of up to £1,500 each. They delivered over 300 summer sessions taking place all over the UK engaging more than 3,000 children and their families, with a huge range of activities taking place including bug hunting, seed planting, orienteering, bush-crafts, and outdoor cooking sessions.
This year we will be distributing £34,000 in grants of up to £1,500 each to support activities that will engage children and young people with nature over the summer break in July and August 2024.

We are particularly interested in receiving applications that demonstrate how you will reach children and young people who are from disadvantaged backgrounds, and/or who have disabilities.
Your activities can be solely funded by this grant, or take place as part of a larger scheme or initiative.
