Zero Carbon Communities Grants

Description

This round of funding is open until 3 December 2025 and grants of between £500 and £10,000 are available.

Projects might include:

community buildings – for example, energy conservation or efficiency measures
nature and biodiversity projects – this could include community allotment projects, or the restoration, creation or enhancement of a community nature area
other projects – such as waste reduction projects or community initiatives that promote sustainable lifestyle choices

You are welcome to apply for more than one project.

However, we are aiming to allocate funding so that we can support as wide a range of projects as possible across the district.

There is a webinar at 7pm on 21st October (see our events section) for more information on how to apply and to hear from previously funded projects.
