Local community projects that aim to enhance biodiversity or promote recycling could be eligible for sponsorship of up to £1,000 from Veolia’s Sustainability Fund.

The water, waste and energy company’s fund also provides in-kind resources or staff volunteers to support not-for-profit organisations, schools and community groups in transforming their local community or environment.

Projects that have considered the long-term or ongoing benefits for the community are more likely to succeed and will have to show that they are:

• Enhancing biodiversity
• Promoting sustainable waste behaviours (reduce, reuse and/or recycle)
• Protecting or preserving resources and the environment
• Use of recycled, reused or reclaimed materials
