Financial support for school grounds projects

student holing a bug jar

Scottish Natural Heritage encourage better use and enjoyment of Scotland’s school grounds, by direct funding through our School Grounds Grants Scheme, indirectly through block grants to local school grounds partnerships who award grants on behalf of SNH and other funders.

We also grant aid Grounds For Learning, Scotland’s school grounds charity who provide practical information and advice and promote better use of school grounds.
