Green Living Fund
Public voting for the Green Living Fund is now open and will close on Friday 14th November at 17:00. Voting is taking place online via Microsoft Forms - click the link to vote for your local projects.
The Green Living Fund is an opportunity for community groups to apply for a grant to support new initiatives that tackle climate-related priorities within the community, while also helping those in the community with the cost of living.
Proposals should be designed in to fit within at least one of the following criteria:
- Energy – e.g. reducing consumption, promoting efficiency
- Transport – e.g. encouraging active travel, decarbonising transport
- Waste – e.g. reducing, reusing and recycling, repairing, sharing
- Resilience – e.g. adapting to changing conditions – including flooding, drought
and heat
- Nature – e.g. improving greenspace, increasing biodiversity, local food growing
- Engagement – e.g. increasing public awareness and engaging communities
The proposals have been screened by an expert panel to confirm feasibility. Members of the local community are able to choose which proposals will receive funding. Final evaluation of the proposals will be made 50% on technical evaluation and 50% on community voting.
As we have some wards that are undersubscribed, to ensure there is public support of any project, a requirement has been set that to receive funding a project needs to receive a minimum of 50 votes.
Please navigate to your Council ward below to view each proposal submitted for that area. Once you have reviewed the proposals please click the link to visit the public voting platform and register your vote by Friday 14th November.
