Love Essex Fund – food waste reduction

This June, the focus is on projects that help to reduce household food waste. Your project is eligible for funding if it:

• provides opportunities for the community to reduce their household food waste
• provides skills and knowledge to the community to help reduce their household food waste
• is based in Essex (excluding Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock)

You can apply with a new project or an existing project. Previous Love Essex Fund recipients can apply again, either with a new project or to fund the continuation and expansion of a previously funded project.

The micro-grant cannot fund:

• personal, home-based projects. Your project must benefit the community, particularly families
• projects that focus on business waste
• projects that pose a hygiene concern
• ongoing running costs and pre-existing day-to-day activities. One-off costs are acceptable
• activities that promote or are run by politically-motivated organisations
• projects where the applicant cannot demonstrate compliance with all relevant legislation
