About the Scheme
Our planet has never needed us more. Everyone should be doing their bit to help improve the environment but it’s not always easy to know where to start.
GreenPrints provides funding and practical support making it easier for people aged between 16-25 to start making a difference to their local environment.
Whether you want to spend one day or six months making your mark on the environment – you're in the right place.

Flagships
· Your own project lasting up to 12 months
· Improve a space that means something to you
· Get up to £10,000 and a Mentor for support
GreenPrints Flagships have been developed to help you turn your ideas into reality.
It's simple, you come up with an idea to improve a local green space for people and wildlife. If we think it's a good idea we’ll provide a Mentor to support you and up to £10,000 to make it happen.
Flagship projects should focus on improving an outdoor space which is open to the public. That could be a park, playing field, river, beach or cycle path.
The space isn’t too important – it's how you improve it that matters.
Get in on the act!
