This funding programme which is available through the Landfill Communities Fund, an initiative which allows landfill operators to release tax credits to environmental and community groups. The scheme broadly aims to benefit local communities in the vicinity of a landfill site.
The Government has set aside £40 million of funding to be administered by Groundwork UK through two grant schemes:
- The Community and Environment Fund (CEF)
- The Business and Local Economy Fund (BLEF)
Groundwork, a registered charity, will administer the funding over an 11 year period, throughout the first phase of construction of the High Speed Two (HS2) north-south railway and the first year of its operation.
