The Biffa Award Community Buildings theme aims to improve buildings at the heart of their communities, such as village halls, community centres and church halls, which are within five miles of a significant Biffa Operation or within 10 miles if an active Biffa Landfill site with the aim of encouraging and enhancing community involvement.

Grants of between £10,000 and £75,000 are available.

Total project costs or its phases must not exceed £200,000 including VAT.

Standalone elements of a wider project costing less than £200,000 are also excluded

Applications will be accepted from not-for-profit organisations in England and Northern Ireland.

To be eligible, organisations must:

• Be fully constituted, charitable or not-for-profit with no share capital.
• Be applying for a project site located within five miles of a significant Biffa operation or 10 miles of an active Biffa Landfill site.
• Be applying for a project site located within 10 miles of a licensed landfill site.
• Have a project site open for a minimum of 104 days of full public access to the project per year.
• Own the project site or have signed a lease agreement with the landowner of more than 10 years.
• Be eligible for enrolment and registration with the scheme's regulator ENTRUST.

Applications for projects in places of worship must show that they serve the wider community, similar to a village hall or community centre attracting significant wider weekly group use. Priority is given to projects that demonstrate a wider community benefit and need. It is expected that buildings will be used by many groups regularly each week, benefiting people of different ages and demographics.

Applications for projects in a sporting clubhouse should apply under the Recreation theme.

Applicants should check their project location's eligibility using Biffa Awards Postcode Checker, which can be found on the Awards website.

There is a two stage application process.

• The first stage is to submit an Expression of Interest which are accepted on a rolling basis. There are no deadlines for Expressions of Interest. Notification of decisions are usually within five days.
• The second stage is to submit a full application. This is by invitation only to those organisations with a successful Expression of Interest. This must be completed within six weeks of the invitation being made. Full applications are considered for times a year (in February, May, July and November). Applications will go to the next available meeting so there are no restrictions on when to apply. Groups may wait for up to six months to hear the outcome of their application.

Guidance notes, FAQs and the online form are available from the Biffa Award website.

Biffa Award will only accept a maximum of two full applications per financial year from any one organisation and only one application per organisation will be considered at any Board meeting.

This fund aims to foster new and ambitious community rewilding projects, and to remove barriers to rewilding projects within Britain, whether they’re at the early planning stages or want to move a project one step wilder. Funding will be awarded to projects with potential for the highest impact for people and nature.

Grants of up to £15,000 are available. It is expected that most awards will be less than £10,000.

To apply for funding, projects must be:

• Based in Britain
• Part of the Rewilding Network (includes community, private and public landowners, and managers of rewilding areas on the land and at sea).
• Rewilding at scale (more than 40 hectares) according to Rewilding Britain’s rewilding principles. This can be an individual landholding or a cluster of landholdings. It is recommended that applicants who are rewilding on a smaller scale form a group or network to apply.

Local groups and networks can also apply for any innovative projects that will help to upscale rewilding.

Previously unsuccessful applicants can reapply for funding in this round.

The deadline for applications is 29 August 2025.

There is a two-stage application process:

• Applicants should first become a Rewilding Network member through the online portal on the Rewilding Britain website.
• Applicants can then submit an online application form. Shortlisted projects will be invited to pitch their project to the steering group in a 10-minute online presentation.

Guidance notes are available from the Rewilding Britain website.

Our aim is to support improvement in mental health by providing grants to charities registered and operating solely in the UK and involved in the mental health and wellbeing of children and young adults.

Although we understand the necessity of securing core funding for charities, we wish, if possible, to target our grant-giving to specific projects that will provide a measurable difference to a charity’s users.
