Green up your Acts‘  aim is take the sometimes complex issues of Sustainability and make them easier to understand, so participants of all ages can begin to help make the changes that are necessary for a cleaner, greener world. This is achieved primarily through workshops in schools which engage and inspire through practical activities grounded in science, geography and citizenship.

We are very excited to announce that Greener Leith will be the first charity to benefit from the Vegware Community Fund. The funding will allow Greener Leith to employ a sessional worker to support green fingered volunteers grow more food in local community garden projects. There’s more information here.

This November sees the launch of our new community fund. We will be giving grants to UK-based non profit organisations to support sustainability in the widest sense – any project which aims to enhance the local community and environment, whether built or natural.

The fund is intended to cover core running costs, and it’s our goal to provide a contribution which will allow groups to engage in their chosen task, or as a basis from which to apply from project grants.  At the outset, individual grants will be £20-200 per month, paid monthly.
