Community Spaces was launched on 19 March 2008 and is a £50 million open grants programme funded through the Big Lottery Fund's Changing Spaces initiative.

The programme provides funding and support to community groups across England and responds directly to people's aspirations to have better places on their doorsteps. It aims to create more interesting places for children to play, safer places for people of all ages to enjoy and greener spaces where people and nature can grow and flourish. The programme is managed by Groundwork on behalf of a consortium of national organisations.

  • Applications for funding are now being accepted.
