Deadline: January 2023
Hampshire County Council’s Waste Prevention Community Grant Fund has already supported over 80 Hampshire projects to reuse over 24,000 items. From reusable nappy libraries to community fridges and refill centres. If you have a big idea to help prevent household waste in your community, apply by January 2023.
Projects must demonstrate:
That they will have an impact on the population within the Hampshire County Council administrative area (this does not include the Portsmouth or Southampton City Council areas)
That they do not duplicate activity in the local area (e.g. District/Town/Parish) that is already taking place
Measurable reductions in the amount of household waste, e.g. through furniture reused, or food diverted from waste.
Social benefits (jobs/volunteer posts created, number of residents trained etc)
Who the project is likely to directly engage.
How the project is innovative or new (to the local area).
The methods used to effect behaviour change.
Sustainability/and or a degree of ‘legacy’ in terms of waste prevention outcomes. The fund will only support new, or expansion of existing products and services. It will not pay for existing activities.
