Cleaner, Safer, Greener Fund

open again for applications !

The LCVS Grants Team is administering on behalf of Liverpool City Council the Cleaner, Safer, Greener Fund for Communities for 2008/09. This is a small grants programme for voluntary and community sector groups and is aimed at projects based in Liverpool that contribute to the Cleaner, Safer, Greener element of the Safer and Stronger Communities Programme under the following themes:

Environmental improvements

(e.g. renovation/refurbishment projects, improvements to local green spaces, energy saving/environmentally friendly improvements that improve recycling or tackle pollution)

Liveability

(e.g. projects that tackle issues of crime, crime prevention and community safety)

Empowering local people

(e.g. projects that encourage local people to take a more active role in the promotion and development of safer, cleaner, greener communities and that promote community cohesion)

Grants are available for projects between £100 and £5,000. Decisions on funding will be made by local panels of elected community representatives in each of the five Neighbourhood Management Areas.

For more information contact the LCVS Grants team on 0151 236 7728. Full guidelines and an application form are available on the LCVS website http://www.lcvs.org.uk
