creative climate action awards
@theleapbd
The Leap Creative Climate Action Awards promote and support community-led climate action across the Bradford District. The Awards sit within the wider Dream Act Inspire campaign. This is a bold, community-powered movement rooted in social justice, lived experience, and cultural practice. The Awards celebrate and elevate community-led climate action.
Whether you’re a local resident, community group or artist, Creative Climate Action Awards are all about bringing projects to life that inspire more sustainable ways of living across Bradford and Keighley. We’re especially keen to support ideas that reach communities where these conversations aren’t happening enough.
awards are available up to £1,500
about this programme
Creative Climate Action Awards supports individuals and organisations who believe creativity, arts and culture can raise climate awareness, encourage sustainable lifestyles, and inspire positive action for the planet. Funded by the National Lottery Community Fund (Climate Action Fund) and Bradford Council, the Awards provide funding and support to help bring creative ideas to life. The Awards prioritise communities historically under-represented in climate leadership to become the designers, owners and drivers of local climate solutions.
We’re interested in projects that use arts, creativity, or culture to explore climate change, sustainability, and environmental responsibility.
