West Sussex County Council's Waste Prevention Community Grant Fund - Applications Still Open
The Waste Prevention Community Grant Fund is now open for applications from community-based projects in West Sussex to encourage people to repair and reuse items instead of throwing them away.
The fund is a joint initiative between West Sussex County Council and Biffa to help local groups deliver innovative projects which reduce household waste by encouraging repair, reuse and waste prevention.
Community groups, residents' associations, charities, community interest companies (CICs) and social enterprises in West Sussex with new ideas for relevant initiatives can apply for grants of up to £5,000 for projects that:
Reduce waste at its source by encouraging practices that minimise the production of household waste.
Support projects that facilitate the reuse or repair of items to extend their lifespan.
Reduce household food waste in alignment with existing surplus food rescue services and education campaigns.
Engage the community by empowering residents to take part in waste prevention activities and promote a culture of sustainability.
