Background

The Lancashire Environmental Fund (LEF) is an environmental body enrolled with the Government's regulatory body, ENTRUST, to provide funding for a wide variety of projects to improve the environment and bring community benefits throughout the county of Lancashire.

Partners
SITA UK Ltd has chosen to direct landfill tax credits to the Fund.
Lancashire County Council also provides financial support to maximise the amount of landfill tax credits available.
The Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside provides the administrative services for the Fund.
Community Futures supports a wide range of organisations and community initiatives.
 

Formed as a non-profit company in 1998 as a partnership of Lancashire County Council, SITA UK Ltd, the Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside and Community Futures, the Fund has allocated over £13m to more than 400 environmental and community projects throughout the county to date.

The Fund works closely with Lancashire County Council's Environmental Projects Team. This partnership means that they can offer a unique mix of resources to help to deliver projects from initial advice through to funding and project implementation.

Funding comes from contributions by landfill tax operators, SITA UK Ltd and Neales Waste Management Ltd. The Fund also receives a contribution from Lancashire County Council.
