Approximately £1.6 million is available per year for projects in communities surrounding a qualifying SUEZ Recycling and Recovery site that are open to the public as a minimum of either 4 evenings a week, 2 days a week, or 104 days a year. Examples include:
- Village hall improvements.
- Nature reserves and conservation.
- Village greens.
- Community centres.
- Public playgrounds.
- Cycle paths.
- Sports fields and facilities.
- Country parks.
- Historic buildings, structures, or sites.
Improvements to places of religious worship will only be considered if they are Grade I designated. Projects to improve other historic buildings, structures or sites must be Grade I, II or II*, or have another significant heritage designation such as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
There is a two-stage application process. Groups must first submit an online Expression of Interest before being invited to submit a full application. There are typically four funding rounds each year.
