Suez Communities Fund

Suez Communities Trust is offering grants of between £3,000 and £50,000 for constituted not-for-profit groups across England to deliver projects that make capital improvements to public amenities.

Deadline:

Amount:

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.
