Sustainability fund

The purpose of the fund is to support non-profit organisations, community groups or individuals that help transform their local community through enhancing biodiversity, promoting sustainable waste behaviours, protecting or preserving resources and the environment, or using recycled, reused or reclaimed materials. The fund will support inspirational ideas that aim to make a positive change towards their local communities.

The sustainability fund is delivered and distributed by Veolia as part of the council’s waste contract.

Each project can apply for up to £1000 funding, although larger projects that require more funding can be considered.
