The purpose of this fund is to provide support to community and voluntary groups in delivering projects that will:
- support environmentally based community enterprise activity
- promote healthier or more sustainable lifestyles or
- address environmental dereliction
Groups can apply for up to £10,000 (although most awards will be around the £5,000 unless they are exceptional circumstances) to help deliver their projects. The funding can pay for anything from new footpaths in an open space, to marketing a new environmental community enterprise to running events to encourage the use of a green space.
BSN Officers will work with a group to help develop the project, obtain costs, consult with other residents/stakeholders and apply for funding.
