Residents and community groups are being invited to help create a greener, cleaner Brent as the council relaunches its popular Together Towards Zero (TTZ) community climate action fund.
The 15 June relaunch comes as the council celebrates awarding its 100th Together Towards Zero grant, marking four years of community-led climate action across the borough.
The scheme offers grants of up to £5,000 for one-off projects that help tackle the climate and ecological emergency while improving local neighbourhoods.
Since launching in 2022, Together Towards Zero has funded 105 community-led projects worth more than £295,000, including:
- Absolute Beginners Factory CIC – helping young people turn discarded nitrous oxide canisters into decorative vases through sustainable manufacturing techniques.
- Sally Scooters – running repair workshops to refurbish discarded scooters and reuse parts.
- StepwithSerg – delivering trainer repair and reuse workshops to reduce waste.
- Sufra NW London – transforming a community garden pond into a thriving wildlife habitat.
- St Mark's Church – creating a biodiverse community growing space by replacing artificial turf with raised vegetable beds.
- Sunahs Crisis Team CIC – hosting plant-based cookery workshops focused on sustainable food choices.
- Friends of Woodcock Park – carrying out a beaver viability study alongside community wildflower planting.
- The Enchanted Forest of Welsh Harp – leading mindfulness and nature-connection walks exploring urban ecology and biodiversity.
The fifth round of funding opens on 15 June and will remain available until spring 2027, or until all funding has been allocated.
