Now Open

This year, we've launched our WWF Cymru Community Grant scheme on the night of Earth Hour. We're supporting communities to go beyond the hour and take part in Great Big Green Week, June 2024. 

Community groups with a project or activity focussed on bringing people, nature and planet together in their community are encouraged to apply for grants of up to £1,000.

We're working on a rolling deadline and decision making for applications, so we encourage you to get your applications in early. 

ULTIMATE DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS –  23:59, Sunday 28th of April 2024.  

WHAT IS EARTH HOUR?

It’s the moment millions of people around the world show they care about the future of our planet.  

Everyone has a part to play in making that happen. Will you join the movement? 

Give an hour to Earth - connect with nature, your community and with people around the world.

Get involved

Whether it’s switching off from distractions for an hour or spending time with others – Earth Hour’s a time to reconnect to what’s important.

Get involved 

You’re not alone! Millions of others are switching off for Earth Hour across the world – join the conversation on social media for inspiration and share what you’re doing. #EarthHourWales 

Get creative

Switching off for Earth Hour doesn't have to mean being in total darkness! You could create a lantern or a puppet then bring them to life during the hour using a torch or candlelight. 

Get thinking

Use the hour to talk to friends and families about the things that are important to you.

Earth Hour Wales Street Art

You can still see our Earth Hour street art project from 2021!

Working with Bardd Plant Cymru, Literature Wales and Peaceful Progress, the murals were created with the words of local school children, in three locations across Wales – Treorchy, Cardigan and Rhyl.

If you spot them, don’t forget to take a picture and share it with #EarthHourWales.
