Grant News
Funding is available for initiatives that improve recycling facilities in public spaces across the UK. The Hubbub in the Loop Grant Fund will award two projects with grants of up to £12,500 to invest in local recycling infrastructure to boost recycling facilities in their area.
Successful projects can spend funding on:
-
The purchase of new bins and the adaption of old bins to fit the #InTheLoop principles (new vinyls, apertures etc.)
-
Installation of bins
-
Communication and engagement for the campaign
-
Measurement and evaluation of the campaign.
-
Staffing costs to cover the time spent planning and delivering the campaign
It is expected that most of the funding (75%) will go towards to the purchase on infrastructure on new bins or improvements to old bins (new vinyls, apertures etc.) The remaining amount should be spent on promotion of the campaign, and for measurement and evaluation of the project.
Projects must include the collection of plastic bottles and cans, and could also include the collection of glass and coffee cups.
Successful applicants will also receive project management support, as well as assistance with project development and design.
The fund is open to applications from a wide range of organisations, including local authorities, Business Improvement Districts shopping centre owners and transport hubs such as airports, train and coach stations, etc.
The closing date for applications is the 1st March 2024.
