The Greater Manchester Environment Trust
One charity. One fund. Hundreds of great green ideas.
The GMET is a registered charity that channels green finance into Greater Manchester through our Green Spaces Fund.
We work with grassroots groups, corporate supporters and a network of partners across the city region to make Greater Manchester greener for all.
We also work with organisations to help them meet environment-focused aims, including Corporate Social Responsibility, Social Value, Biodiversity Net Gain commitments and Carbon Offsetting.
