Non-profit groups or organisations, including any town or parish council within the district, can apply for funding for new projects that are focussed on carbon emission reduction, community engagement in climate change, or ecological enhancement in the community

Community projects might include:

• Community buildings – for example, energy conservation or efficiency measures

• Sustainable transport – for example, community cycle parking or electric vehicle charging points

• 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

Grants of between £1,000 and £35,000 are available.
