Apply for the Reduce, Reuse, Recycling Fund

The Reduce, Reuse, Recycling Fund is a community grant designed to support projects that help people to reduce, reuse or recycle waste. Grants of up to £1,000 are available for not-for-profit community groups, schools and charities based in the county of Nottinghamshire (excluding the city of Nottingham).

Funding can be granted for a variety of projects and activities including physical or online workshops, social media campaign support, practical equipment, education activities and awareness raising. This can be anything from swap shop events to repair workshops, community gardens (which make use of reused, reclaimed, or recycled materials), to food growing, food waste reduction initiatives and composting schemes. Campaigns to promote reducing, reusing or recycling can also be included, as well as those which address contamination (the wrong things being put in the recycling bin).

These projects could be at home, school, place of work, online or at a local event. We are looking for creative and innovative ideas which inspire. From arts projects to recycling bins, the possibilities are endless!
