Environment Trust - Here To Help Community Groups

Local community groups from across the Stirling and Clackmannanshire Council areas are being encouraged to ask for support from the Clackmannanshire and Stirling Environment Trust as the deadline for next round of applications to be considered draws near on Friday 2 March, 2013.

The Environment Trust is keen to support more local groups to implement projects that improve the environment or provide a benefit to both the local community and the general public. In the past projects have included improvements to play areas, community halls, historic and religious buildings, local woodlands and projects aimed at conserving the local native biodiversity.

Currently the Trust has two funding programs:

• A small grants scheme for projects costing a total of £5,000 or less, applications for this scheme are consider throughout the year on a rolling program and awards of up to £2500 can be made.
• Or for a larger project the Trust will consider applications at one of three scheduled meetings this year and the deadline for the next meeting is Friday 2 March.

The Trust manages landfill community fund credits raised through the landfilling of municipal waste from both Stirling and Clackmannanshire Councils.

Applying to the Trust is simple, with help and advice from the Trust's Manager Audrey Morrison Audrey Morrison on Tel 01786 484611 or by email on morrisona@stirling.gov.uk
