Support
the network
ECCAN connects the people and organisations driving climate action across the city – your donation helps turn local ideas into lasting impact.
What your donation supports
Your donation supports us to:
Fund grassroots climate projects through our Greenlight grants programme
Connect people and organisations working on climate action across the city
Share learning, opportunities and resources across the network
Make climate action accessible to communities across all of Edinburgh
From transforming neglected spaces into thriving community gardens, to supporting low-carbon transport and homes, to bringing folk together over food and climate conversations - Greenlight funded projects show what Edinburgh’s communities can do when resourced and connected.
What your donation can make possible
-
MWAMBA
With the help of Greenlight funding, MWAMBA reached more than 150 people across Edinburgh and the Lothians through zero-food-waste cooking workshops and Climate Conversation Cafés - bringing practical climate action and conversation into communities whose voices are too often missing from these conversations.
Your donation can help more locally-led ideas like this get off the ground.
-
Bikes for Refugees
Greenlight funding helped Bikes for Refugees provide refurbished bikes and cycling equipment to refugees and people seeking asylum - supporting access to work, education and essential services while making lower-carbon travel more accessible.
By donating, you can help fund more projects that bring benefits for people, communities and the environment at the same time.

Oxgangs Community Gardeners
With support from Greenlight, Oxgangs Community Gardeners transformed a disused bowling green into a biodiverse community garden - creating space for food growing, wildlife and people to come together.
Your donation can help more communities across Edinburgh turn their ideas into action.
