BOSF Funding for Groups
This year BOSF worked with Birmingham Environmental Partnership and Birmingham Trees for Life to create 3 new funding pots for Open Spaces user groups.
BEP Events & Activities Fund This fund was open to all BOSF members and offered up to £1,000 to enable groups to put on more events and activities in their open spaces.
The money was targeted at new events and activities that promote the use of your space during the traditionally quieter months of autumn and winter.
BEP New Groups Fund This was a new small grant of up to £200 to help new friends groups get started. This money was used for things like publicity, hire of meeting rooms, questionnaires to find out the priorities of a community.
BTFL Tree Planting Fund The first round of this fund has already identified £14k of BOSF member group projects to support. The second round had a similar amount in the pot.
They wanted to receive bids from BOSF groups with tree planting plans. This fund is limited to open spaces that are part of BCC’s Leisure, Sport & Culture Department.
