Volunteering Matters Action Earth is a Scotland-wide grants scheme that helps communities protect and improve their local green spaces. Funded by NatureScot, the programme offers grants of £50 to £250 to support practical environmental volunteering activities in urban and semi-urban areas.
From planting and wildlife habitats to path repairs and litter picks, Action Earth projects bring people together to take local action for nature. In 2024-25, we supported more projects than ever before—delivering high-impact environmental work while engaging volunteers of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. Many of our volunteers live in some of the most disadvantaged areas of Scotland, and a significant number face health and social challenges.
Together, we’re responding to the climate and biodiversity crises with community-led action. Every project improves nature on the doorstep—and builds skills, confidence, and community connections in the process. Ready to join in? Learn more here.
A very positive experience to be supported by Action Earth! We feel our small project is part of a much bigger positive contribution towards a world where collective small improvements really can be of benefit when they all come together – Green St Boswells
