The funding is intended to support not-for-profit organisations with the costs of making physical improvements to single amenity sites that are open and accessible to the general public. The facility should be somewhere the general public can go, join, or use, for leisure or entertainment purposes without any limit or restriction of use.
All grant recipients are required to secure a 'Contributing Third Party' (CTP) payment (10.75%). This is a very specific payment required to be paid to the landfill operator and it is not the same as match funding. Full details can be found in the guidance notes, available on the FCC Communities Foundation website.
Projects must be based within 10 miles of an eligible FCC Environment waste facility.
Wakefield is an eligible area for this fund in 2025.
