MORE cash is available for green community projects in Leamington.
This year, a total of £10,000 has been allocated to Leamington Town Council’s Climate Change Grant Fund. Not-for-profit community groups tackling the challenges of climate change can bid for a slice of the cash.
Applications will remain open throughout the year and submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis as they are received.
Since the scheme first launched, more than £30,000 has been awarded to community organisations across the town. The grants have already supported a range of impactful local initiatives.
The next round of funding will support projects focused on, but not limited to, reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable practices.
Town mayor Coun Ruggy Singh said: “Although this is still a relatively new grant scheme, we have already seen a significant level of interest from across the town and have supported a number of inspiring projects. These include the Action 21 cycle project and Eco Hub, the CLEAN Thermal Camera Loan Scheme for residents and the ’10,000 Sunflower’ planting initiative.
“We are delighted to reopen the fund and look forward to supporting even more green projects in Leamington.”
