Overview

Who can apply?

You must be:

  • a UK resident
  • over 18 years old
  • registered with parkrun

You'll also need:

  • the support of an organisation that will receive the funds (they can’t pay funds to an individual so you will need to provide the details of a not-for-profit organisation e.g. a local charity, ‘friends of’ group or parkrun themselves to receive the funds for your project).
  • any consent or permissions required for your project before applying.

You must not be:

  • an employee or family member of Leeds Building Society or parkrun

What will they fund?

They will fund projects that will have a positive impact on individual parkrun communities.

For example:

  • £2000 for improvements to your local park, such as playground equipment, seating for spectators or woodland walks.
  • £500 to help with maintaining your park, such as a tidy up or equipment improvements.
  • £1000 to hold celebrations such as parkrun birthdays, milestones or a family-fun day.

They only accept projects within the UK.

If you have any questions about the scheme or your application please email them.
