Anti-Litter and Anti-Graffiti Grant Scheme
This grant scheme helps community groups to carry out anti-litter and anti-graffiti awareness campaigns in their local area. It has a particular focus on voluntary initiatives, and on involving schools and young people in anti-litter and anti-graffiti activities.
Examples of the kinds of initiatives supported by the grant scheme can include:
- Providing anti-littering campaign materials, like anti-litter posters and stickers
- Organising poster design competitions
- Arranging interactive talks or plays involving schools and young people in anti-litter activities
- Encouraging responsible dog owners to clean up after their pet in public places
The grant covers up to 70% of the overall cost of the project being funded. The community groups receiving grant will need to cover the remainder of the costs from other resources, potentially including local business co-funding for example.
