WREN grant schemes
WREN is a landfill tax credit funder linked to Waste Recycling Environmental Limited. Grants are available within the terms of the Landfill Communities Fund. Central to WREN’s funding policy is the use of regional advisory panels. Local representatives of community, conservation and heritage organisations, along with local people, have a leading role in deciding where grants go.
There are several grant schemes, each with specific criteria and closing dates.
Small and Main Grant Scheme
The Small Grant Scheme covers grants of between £2,000 and £15,000 for projects costing less than £50,000 overall. Projects must be completed within 12 months of the grant being awarded. The kinds of projects that are given grants include: village halls; community centres; public parks; skate parks; multi-use games areas; country parks; cycleways; bridleways; museums; recreation grounds; nature reserves; village greens; public footpaths/towpaths; multi-purpose sports clubs open to non-members; playgrounds that are not on school grounds.
The Main Grant Scheme provides grants of between £15,001 and £50,000 and covers the provision, maintenance and improvement of public parks or other public amenities.
With Small and Main Grants, a key issue is area eligibility. Projects must be within the vicinity of a landfill site operated by the Waste Recycling Group. Sites exist in the following counties/regions: Conwy; West Glamorgan; Wrexham.
Detailed eligibility enquiries can be made via an online form at www.wren.org.uk/apply/area-eligibility, where you will also find the names of the regional staff and links to descriptions of projects funded in each area.
