Examples of projects we’ve funded

Check out these projects we've previously funded to get some inspiration.

Sustainable Lego Club

The Museum of Richmond used the microgrant to launch a new Lego Club using only second‑hand Lego sourced from local charity shops. The project promotes the circular economy and shows families the value of reusing materials. The initiative has already been showcased as a positive case study within the museum sector.

Twickenham Repair Café

The café used the microgrant to support a thriving monthly repair hub run by 65 volunteers, completing nearly 3,000 repairs. The project has helped over 2,000 residents, cutting 35 tonnes of CO₂e, saving 3.8 tonnes from landfill and avoiding £120,000 in replacement costs. The lively events build community skills, confidence and connection around repair and reuse.

Transforming Morland Close for wildlife

The Conservation Volunteers transformed a small greenspace in Morland Close by building an insect hotel, creating a stag beetle loggery and planting 84 wildflower plugs. Volunteers loved the hands‑on work, with one saying: “It was nice to build new micro‑environments from scratch.”
