| The
Western Riverside Environmental Fund
was set up in April 1999 as a partnership
between the Western Riverside Waste Authority and Groundwork
UK. To date over £2 million has been made available to
environmental projects within the boroughs of Lambeth, Wandsworth,
Hammersmith & Fulham and Kensington & Chelsea.
The fund utilises landfill tax credits arising from household
rubbish and other waste handled by the Authority’s waste
transfer stations at Smugglers Way, Wandsworth and Cringle Dock,
Battersea. Contributions to the fund have been made by two Landfill
Operators - Cory Environmental and Cleanaway Ltd.
Applications are invited from projects
that work with local communities to promote environmental improvements
and sustainable waste management in
the four boroughs. Grants are usually offered in the range of
£5,000 - £25,000 with flexibility to approve higher
amounts in exceptional circumstances.

Limited
