Matched funding available for new pocket parks in London

Howard Lake | 10 January 2014 | News

Spacehive and The Mayor of London have opened the second round of their Pocket Parks Programme to help transform unused and unloved spaces in new pocket parks for Londoners to enjoy.
Pocket parks are “small green areas of thriving public space in the middle of the city”, according to Spacehive. And by ‘small’ they mean less than 0.4 hectares.

Crowdfund then grant

The partnership involves crowdfunding the first 20% of the project’s cost with Spacehive. Then, if the project is selected, the Mayor of London will provide the remaining 80% of the funds required. Projects can have a maximum budget of £20,000.
To be eligible for funding, the first 20% target has to have been reached by 8 April.
You can view other people’s projects on Spacehive’s Pocket Parks Hive and create a project now.
Applications are open from 20 January until 10 March 2014.
