Double Your Impact for Hackney’s Pollinators
Donate between 22–29 April and every pound you give will be matched. £50 becomes £100. It’s that simple.
Part of Big Give’s Earth Raise campaign. All donations matched from midday 22 April to midday 29 April 2026.
The UK Is One of the World’s Most Nature-Depleted Countries
Our bees, butterflies and other pollinators are in crisis. Across Hackney, residents, schools and community groups care deeply about their green spaces – but many lack the resources to turn them into places where wildlife can thrive.
Connecting Nature, Connecting People
With your support, ecoACTIVE will launch a community bursary scheme giving Hackney residents and groups the plants, seeds, habitat materials and hands-on guidance they need to create beautiful, high-quality pollinator habitats, right where people live, learn and play.
Our two-year Hackney Buzzline surveys have recorded over 170 pollinator species and identified which plants and habitats work best locally. So every bursary recipient gets proven, expert-backed guidance – not guesswork.
What bursaries provide
Pollinator-friendly plants and wildflower seeds suited to local conditions
Nesting resources including bee hotels and habitat materials
Practical training sessions for residents, young people and volunteers
Ongoing support from ecoACTIVE’s Postcode Gardener team
Give Once. Double the Difference
Through Big Give’s Earth Raise campaign, every donation you make between midday 22 April and midday 29 April will be matched pound for pound by a champion funder. It’s a simple idea with a powerful result.
3-step process

A champion funder matches your gift, pound for pound.
ecoACTIVE receives double to fund pollinator bursaries across Hackney.
What Your Donation Makes Possible
Your support will transform underused corners of estates, streets, school grounds and community gardens into connected pollinator habitats. Here’s what we’ll achieve together:
New pollinator meadows, flower beds and planters in neighbourhood green spaces across Hackney
Hands-on training sessions building skills and confidence in residents and young people
Citizen science projects with UCL ecology students, recording pollinators and feeding into local nature recovery plans
Free online resources shared widely so the impact reaches far beyond funded sites
By helping pollinators thrive, your donation creates visible change and a positive ripple effect for urban nature across Hackney and beyond.

From midday 22 April to midday 29 April, every donation to ecoACTIVE through Big Give’s Earth Raise campaign will be matched. Don’t miss this one-week window to make your gift go twice as far for Hackney’s wildlife.
