Getting a grant can make all the difference to embracing a sustainable approach. There are plenty of sources of funding, but there is an art in writing a successful grant application.
A good place to start is the Big Lottery Fund. The fund states projects should take account of environmental, economic and social sustainability. The ‘Awards for All’ scheme offers grants between £300 and £10,000.
Another scheme, Biffa Award, offers funding for providing biodiversity, and developing community spaces or buildings. Criteria include being within a set distance of a Biffa waste management operation.
The Grow Wild project from Kew provides funding of up to £4,000 to transform community spaces with native plants.
