Interested in applying?

You should be aware that making a successful application for Landfill Communities Fund is often, but not necessarily, a slow process. Community First has first to establish that a project is eligible under the Entrust regulations and then a considerable amount of information has to be collected to make an application to a Landfill Site Operator ( LSO). The procedures for applications to an LSO vary from one to another. Most LSOs only hold their selection meetings on a quarterly, or even a half yearly, basis. 

You need to consider carefully, all other potential sources of funding for your project. The timing of applications for funding can be crucial, especially where local authorities and Lottery Boards are concerned. Note, LCF funding cannot be made retrospectively.

To make your first enquiry and to discuss your project prior to application, please telephone the Grants Manager Rebecca Lamont Jiggens or Grants Assistant Susanne Pidduck on 01380 732805 or email grants@communityfirst.org.uk
