Apply for the Community Climate Fund

Got any climate-friendly ideas? Apply for up to £5,000 to make them happen.

The next round of funding will open on 2 January 2023 and close on 10 February 2023.

Fund applications can be related to any of the following themes:

• Energy– such as reducing consumption and increasing the use of renewable forms of energy
• Water– such as reducing consumption and reducing the threats from flooding
• Waste minimisation– reducing waste, reusing resources and recycling resources for example using composting bins
• Biodiversity– increasing wildlife, such as the creation of pocket parks and community orchards
• Sustainable transport–such as encouraging cycling and walking

There are three levels of funds available:

• up to £1,000
• up to £2,500 (which requires more information from the applicant)
• up to £5,000 (which requires match funding from the applicant).

The funds must be used for brand new projects, which will last beyond the funding provided by the Council, and include a commitment to inform the wider community about the project and encourage others to take action.
