Community Climate Fund Phase Two open for applications

In January 2024, the first phase of the Stratford-on-Avon District Council Community Climate Change Fund opened for applications to invest in work to tackle the climate emergency. Ten projects received funding from the first phase of the fund, with delivery of the projects currently. You can view some case studies of the successful projects here.

Following feedback from phase one, the following changes have been made:

• Sports Clubs are now eligible to apply for the Fund.
• Projects which will result in the enhancement of biodiversity will now be eligible.
• The name of the fund has been changed to Community Climate and Nature Fund, to reflect the above change.

Cllr Susan Juned, Leader of Stratford-on-Avon District Council, said: "It is essential to work with our communities if we are to tackle climate change and biodiversity depletion. We want to give people the tools to take action, find solutions that are grounded in local communities and tell others of their success." 

£55,863 is available to successful applicants in phase two of the fund. Applications will open from the 10^th of January. Find out more here.

The District Council will also be hosting a Webinar Event to provide interested parties with the opportunity to formulate project ideas and detailed guidance on the application process.
