The third sector in Wales is being encouraged to lead the way in tackling climate change through this new scheme. The Climate Change Grant Fund aims to help educate, inform and enable those wishing to lower the contribution of their community, organisation or group to climate change.
Grants of between £200 and £2,000, covering up to 100% of project costs are available to notfor-profit organisations that have not yet worked to combat climate change. Examples of the types of projects and activities that could be funded include:
- climate change awareness raising initiatives;
- encouraging positive behaviour change amongst individuals and communities;
- exploring and planning for the future impacts of climate change on the applicant organisation's activities and those it represents;
- establishing links with other organisations/groups that have an established climate change remit;
- learning from good practice/training; and
- testing the feasibility of new ideas or new ways of working.
The deadline for receipt of applications is 1 March 2010.
