In an exclusive collaboration with Starbucks, environmental champion Hubbub is set to empower approximately 50 groups with up to £6,000 in funding. The aim is to fuel the development of green space initiatives, providing essential access to nature in the heart of communities.
Embracing the Green OasisAmidst the concrete jungle, a recent nationwide survey conducted by Hubbub reveals a striking truth 78% of individuals experience a significant improvement in well-being by spending time in nature. Despite this revelation, a staggering 36% of UK residents admit to dedicating less than an hour per week to nature. To bridge this gap, the Nature Hubs Fund emerges as a beacon of change.
The Healing Power of NatureResearch underscores the manifold benefits of nature on physical and mental health. Green spaces act as a shield, protecting us from the impacts of a changing climate. The more intertwined we become with nature, the more inclined we are to undertake actions that preserve its beauty for generations to come.
Charting a Green FutureWith a burgeoning population, the need for 4,000 new green spaces by 2033 is predicted merely to sustain our existing levels of access to nature. The Nature Hubs Fund, backed by Starbucks and Hubbub, is a pivotal step towards transforming this vision into reality.
Unlocking the Nature Hubs FundAvailable to all UK-based, legally registered organisations, the Nature Hubs Fund presents an opportunity for innovation and community engagement. The funding application window opened on November 9th and closes on January 11th, 2024, at 15:00. Successful applicants will receive notification by the end of February, marking the commencement of a transformative journey for both communities and green spaces.
