Landfill Communities Fund: Improving the Local Environment
Description
Not generally available to businesses, grants of up to £50,000 are available to community groups/not for profit groups who are improving the local environment within 10 (or sometimes 25) miles of a landfill site. This can either be by providing facilities (sports, recreation, leisure etc) for local communities, by restoring culturally or historically significant buildings or through improving wildlife habitat or other environmental improvements such as reclaiming waste land. Whilst this scheme may not benefit you directly as a business, if there are community projects near you or that you are involved with that are improving or conserving wildlife (plants or animals), regenerating a waste or derelict area, restoring a building or monument or providing community facilities, these grants could aid the project, and by improving the local area, help you as a business.
Eligibility
Must be a not for profit organisation or community group and the project must be within 10 (or sometimes 25) miles of a landfill site (the funds are generated by a tax on landfill sites).
