Applications are now open for the Waste Prevention and Recycling Initiatives Fund grant.

As part of the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle programme, Waltham Forest Council have launched this fund for local community projects.

Community groups can apply for grants of up to £2,000 to start projects aimed at encouraging residents to use less and recycle more. Projects could encourage residents to be more mindful with their choices, reduce consumption or embrace reuse and preloved items.

You have until Friday 26 April to apply.

Eligibility

Applicants must apply as part of a constituted voluntary or community sector group or organisation that will deliver the project. A constituted group has a formal structure, its own bank account, and an agreed constitution (a statement of the aims and rules of the group and what the group wants to do). Please refer to the link for details of the required documentation for applicants.

Applicants must deliver their project between 1 June and 31 December 2024.
