Biffa Award is part of the Landfill Communities Fund, giving grants to projects that seek to improve their local communities. There are 4 key themes they support:

• Rebuilding Biodiversity
• Community Buildings
• Recreation
• Cultural Facilities

Under these themes they provide funding to create or improve community amenities. For example, upgrading kitchens, meeting rooms and toilets in village halls and community facilities; creating new playparks; installing new seating, lighting and exhibitions within theatres and museums; or establishing, protecting and enhancing habitats for biodiversity.

Between £10,000 and £75,000 can be awarded to projects that have a total cost of less than £200,000 including VAT.

Project sites must be within 5 miles of a significant Biffa Operation or active Biffa Landfill Site (15 miles for Rebuilding Biodiversity projects) and within 10 miles of any licenced landfill site in England and Northern Ireland. Post code checker available on website.

This is a rolling programme and as such there are no deadlines to submit an Expression of Interest in the Main Grants Scheme.
