Soho Green are inviting members to support small, meaningful projects that make a positive difference for climate and nature. A small fund has been set aside to match your giving on a light-touch, no-bureaucracy basis.
Soho Green will provide either 5 awards of £500, or 10 awards of £250 on a matched-funding basis. That could mean funding local tree planting, creating wildflower meadows, restoring woodland or park areas, installing benches or picnic tables made from recycled materials, supporting biodiversity projects at local schools, or backing a community garden, pollinator corridor or rewilding space. The idea is simple: support small, visible, positive changes in the places we live and work, where people can see and feel the difference.
If you’d like to donate £250 or £500 to a climate-positive or nature-positive project, Soho Green will match your donation pound for pound. There are no long forms and no heavy process — just a shared belief that small actions, combined, create big impact. This is Soho Green’s way of celebrating its friendship with Entrepreneurial Scotland and giving back to communities and environments across Scotland. Over the years, Soho Green has gifted tens of thousands of pounds to local, national and international initiatives, and as we head toward Christmas 2025 and Spring 2026, they are continuing that journey with you. If you’ve got a project you love — or one you’d like to support — just get in touch.
