Grant Fund

New funding for 2024:
£10,000 to introduce a Hubbub campaign in your area
First round deadline: 20th September 2024

£10,000 to introduce a Hubbub campaign in your area.

To help support local authorities tackle litter and recycling, we have grant funding available to support to help you replicate a Hubbub campaign in your area to support litter reduction, and may also boost recycling.

The campaign should be one of those featured in the free resources section:

We have grants of £10,000 which can be used to support the purchase of new bins and signage, events and the development of a campaign.

We have five grants to give out over the next 12 months, and aim to allocate 1 – 2 grants, every 3 months to allow applicants time to prepare their bid. The first grant will be open until September 13th 2024.

To maximise the campaign scale and impact, we’re asking for applicants to co-invest £5000 into a campaign, to create a project budget of £15,000.

This funding is made possible with support from McDonald’s.
