Potential £1 million grant fund for park ideas

"Nesta, The Heritage Lottery Fund and the Big Lottery Fund have opened a £million grant fund to back the best parks innovations, called Rethinking Parks. Against a background of public sector budget cuts for discretionary services such as parks, Rethinking Parks aim is to find new business models that will enable parks to thrive for the next century.

Voluntary and community sector organisations and public sector organisations with innovative ideas for how to make our public parks financially sustainable may apply for grants of between £50,001 and £100,000 as well as non-financial support to carry out their innovative ideas to make the UK's public parks financially sustainable"
