About the Kirklees Council Environment Grants Scheme

Is your organisation full of ideas to improve the local environment but lacking funds?

If your project helps protect and enhance the environment for the benefit of the people of Kirklees, your group could be eligible for a grant.

The aim of the Environment Grant Scheme is to support projects which protect and enhance the environment and reduce carbon emissions for the benefit of the people of Kirklees.

Kirklees Council would like to:
  • encourage projects which involve communities in tackling climate change.
  • encourage groups to develop creative and sustainable projects which enhance the natural environment in the rural and urban areas of Kirklees.
