Hampshire County Council is o ering grants of up to £5,000 to local community groups, charities, schools and small businesses, to support them in playing a part in helping Hampshire produce less household waste. Applications for ‘Waste Prevention Community Grant Fund’ money are being invited from now until 6th September 2021 . Potential applicants must discuss their ideas with the County Council’s Waste Prevention Team before applying. To arrange an informal discussion email: waste.prevention@hants.gov.uk Councillor Rob Humby, the County Council’s Deputy Leader and Executive Member for Economy, Transport and Environment, said: “ There are many reasons why reducing household waste is so important. Dealing with waste has significant financial and environmental costs, but these could be reduced if we all make different choices. The price of dealing with Hampshire’s waste is around £100 million a year so we are keen to support any new or expanding projects that will encourage people to think twice about what they’re throwing away.” Grants are available for community projects which will introduce a new waste prevention, reuse or repair service to the local area. The fund is open to: community, neighbourhood or voluntary groups; registered charities; schools, colleges and universities; not-for-pro t organisations (including social enterprises); businesses with fewer than 250 employees; and faith groups delivering community work; as well as parish and town councils. Full details of what can and cannot be funded, as well how to apply, are available online at: www.hants. gov.uk/waste-prevention-community Originally introduced in 2017 to help kick-start or expand local initiatives which reduce household waste in Hampshire, the fund has supported over 52 projects to date. ese include repair cafés, cookery and upcycling classes in schools, community fridges, community composting schemes and swap events. e projects have led to over 33,000 items being swapped, repaired or reused, as well as the involvement of over 250 schools and helped residents save over £100,000 through re-using, repairing and buying second-hand items in place of new. e fund also aims to support a ‘Green Recovery’, encourage community cohesion and support the local economy.
