Climate Challenge Fund - Apply Now!

Have a great idea to respond to the climate emergency but not the cash to bring it to life?

Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful’s partner programme, Live Here Love Here, is welcoming applications to the Climate Challenge Fund, a freshly launched environmental grant that will be distributed to community groups, youth groups, schools and businesses that are keen to lead the way in the fight for our future.

The funding, provided by the UK Community Renewal Fund and worth up to £5,000 per applicant, is part of a new Climate Clever Communities project that aims to educate and generate creative local solutions from the community. Initiatives can include:

• Investment in resources to enhance a community growing area

• Workshops to share skills, e.g. repairing and upcycling

• Investment in energy-efficient products that can be used by your whole community

• Share schemes, e.g. tools, uniform, sports kit, bicycles

• Setting up a community climate hacks network – small changes you can make to how you act as a citizen and consumer

• An active travel event

Application closing date is Friday 08 April, 12pm.
