LiveSmart Community Environmental Grant 2025-26 Guidance Notes
The purpose of the LiveSmart Community Environmental Grant Programme is to provide small grants up to a maximum of £750 to local community and voluntary organisations. The grants are to give financial assistance to allow groups and organisations to: -
- improve the general cleanliness in their local area, particularly in respect of litter.
- promote recycling, reuse, repair, upcycling and waste reduction.
- look at ways of reducing carbon footprint by taking simple, practical actions.
Council has an already established LiveSmart Initiative, delivered by the Environmental Resource Officer Team, which aims to encourage, inform and involve all our residents, businesses and visitors to live more lightly on our planet by taking simple steps to protect our environment. LiveSmart Community Environmental Grant Programme is based on the idea that if every person in our Borough tries their best to live sustainably, the combined impact will be huge.
The LiveSmart Community Environmental Grant Programme will complement the LiveSmart Initiative by engaging local communities and raising environmental standards in places where people live, work, relax and spend time.
This is a rolling grant programme and will remain open throughout the year until the budget has been exhausted.
