ZeroWaste Scotland Community Engagement Fund

The Community Engagement Fund aims to help community based projects that have Zero Waste aims.The key areas that may qualify are as follows:

Waste Prevention and Reduction
Food Waste
Recycling
Litter

What is the funding for?
The funding could provide funds to buy resources such as leaflets or equipment, and helping with the cost of training. Resources include leaflets and other communication materials as well as display materials. Training Needs will be those identified by your group to help support the reduction of waste as well as the increase of recycling and re-use. This could be attendance at a pre-existing training course or something bespoke you have identified that will meet the needs of your group.
Funded groups will need to demonstrate value for money and show robust evidence of behaviour change.

How much money is available?
The funding should help to expand your existing project or help to set up a new one. The maximum allocation per group is £10,000. Therefore, more than one project could be funded up to the maximum allocation.
What won’t be funded? Anything that isn’t a resource or training needs. For example, staff time, office hire and other day-to-day running costs.
