Whether you’re a group of neighbours, a community organisation or part of a more formal group, if you’ve got an idea that can help manage flooding or drought, reduce the impact of climate change, increase sustainability or protect and share the natural environment – Blue Heart would love to hear from you.

Previously successful grant applications have included Eastbourne Food Partnership, who were awarded £5,000 to investigate growing food in a changing climate and Treebourne, who also received £5,000 to plant trees and wildflowers at Ocklynge Junior School, Eastbourne.

Blue Heart Project Manager, Anna Hastings, said: “Blue Heart is supporting bright ideas from our community to support the environment and local people, and adapt to climate change. Last year we had some inspiring proposals put forward and I'm excited to see what this year has to hold. We open applications on January 8, 2024 and the final date for grant applications is February 23, so get thinking!”
