Run by the national campaigning organisation The Climate Coalition. The Great Big Green Week is an annual event bringing people together to unleash a wave of support for action to protect the planet. Tens of thousands of people in every corner of the country celebrate the heartfelt, brave, everyday actions being taken to stand up for nature and fight climate change.
​
This is the fifth year that Oxfordshire has thrown itself into the campaign and the response from communities right across the County has been inspiring. Great Big Green Week has taken Oxfordshire by storm with communities coming together to celebrate sustainability and advocate for positive change.
Throughout the week and over two wekeends, there will be a vibrant programme of events, from garden open days and planting events to litter picking, talks and films, climate cafe's and workshops, all with the aim of uniting residents, businesses, and organisations in a shared vision for a greener future.
As Oxfordshire embraces the spirit of Great Big Green Week, it not only sparks meaningful conversations about climate action but also inspires tangible steps towards building a more resilient and sustainable community for generations to come.
GET INVOLVED
SMALL GRANTS AVAILABLE
​
We are delighted to collaborate once more with Oxfordshire County Council and the Climate Action Oxfordshire website to support Great Big Green Week 2025.
​
The Oxfordshire Great Big Green Week (GBGW) small grants programme supports community groups to organise local events, activities and festivals during the Great Big Green Week, 7-15 June 2025. These should engage the local community and celebrate action and progress being made on climate change.
We want to support activities and events that empower local groups to create new connections and raise awareness in order to support new people, local businesses and organisations to take climate action.
Grants of £200 are available for activities taking place during GBGW. We are particularly encouraging groups who are ‘new’ to GBGW to apply. If you would like to plan a series of events that build off one another and can ‘extend’ your GBGW activities as a week or month-long celebration, you can apply for a grant of up to £500.
We would like to particularly emphasise the importance of creating social connections, which can build resilient communities, through these activities.
Deadline to apply: 14 March 2025​
