Applications for the next round of grant funding to support community-based projects aimed at tackling the climate and nature emergency will open in April.
High Peak Borough Council’s Community Climate Change Fund was established in 2021 and has already provided grants to groups including Chapel Biodiversity, Glossopdale Furniture Project, Incredible Edible New Mills, and Serpentine Community Garden.
Grants of between £400 and £5,000 are likely to be available to support practical measures such as tree planting and habitat improvement, green travel and transport schemes, energy saving in community buildings, local food projects, recycling and reuse projects, and to help develop the skills needed to change and adapt lifestyles.
The next round of funding will be available from 1 April to 31 May. Another round will open in the autumn.
