Why work with Green Action Trust

Four decades of experience goes a long way, but it’s not just about how many years we’ve been operating. Commissioning or partnering with us means tapping into our ability to add value to projects, literally by accessing funding, but also by taking a holistic view of long-term environmental and planning policy, using best practice and measuring impacts.

A holistic approach

We look at the bigger picture, not only by offering a complete solution from inception to delivery, but by taking a holistic approach to delivering interconnected outcomes. You can also rely on our insight and advice on national policy, frameworks and targets.

Leverage Funding

Our intricate knowledge of funding streams means we routinely multiply the value of projects. Alongside leveraging our involvement in national programmes, this allows us to deliver more outcomes for clients, without increasing their own budget.

Feasibility & Scoping

As our purpose is to deliver positive environmental outcomes for Scotland, we will actively look to develop ideas with potential partners and scope their feasibility.

From advice on developing a proposal, to putting trees in the ground, it all starts with a conversation. Contact us to get the ball rolling.

Services

Sourcing funding to make your project a success

Funding is critical to every project and we have a track record of finding the funding partners and sources needed to make projects viable. We make grant applications on behalf of our clients and can also provide the mechanisms needed to administer the funds once they have been secured.

Even when there is a budget available to get a project off the ground, we can maximise impact by sourcing match funding to boost that budget. This often leads to a greater suite of interventions than would have been possible with just one funding source.

Testimonial

delivering through strong partnerships

We have worked with Falkirk Council for years on their Greenspace Strategy and with the Scottish Government via their Vacant and Derelict Land Investment Programme.

Bringing these together has helped to deliver projects like the one at Lionthorn Bing. Hear what Joe FitzPatrick MSP and members of Falkirk Council had to say about the results at the opening event.
