Calling all waste-reduction enthusiasts! We are offering £500 micro-grants to support reuse and repair projects in Essex. Each year, we provide funding to organisations, individuals, and schools with innovative projects and ideas to reduce household waste.
This year, the focus is on projects that encourage reuse and repair. To apply for a micro-grant, visit the Love Essex Fund webpage. You will need to provide a brief description of the project and a breakdown of how you plan to spend the micro-grant.
Check out the Love Essex reuse and repair webpage and a previous success story for inspiration. Last year, funding was awarded to more than 30 projects, including:
- repair cafés
- refill shops
- textiles and toy redistribution groups
- bike, furniture, and electronics repair organisations
- clothes swap events
Don't miss out! Applications close on 9 February 2025
