The Lancashire Environmental Fund (LEF) is a partnership between SUEZ Recycling and Recovery UK Ltd, Lancashire County Council, The Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside and Community Futures.
Advance Notice - Closure of the Lancashire Environmental Fund Over the last 25 years, Lancashire Environmental Fund is proud to have supported over 1,600 projects in Lancashire with over £34 million in funding. The money we have distributed has all come from Landfill tax, the aim of which is to encourage alternative and more environmentally friendly methods of disposing of our waste, rather than sending it to landfill. It is with regret that the Fund is now closed to applications. Existing grants and claims will be paid until the end of June 2027 by which time all projects will have to have been completed and grants paid in full. From 7th May 2026, those in eligible postcode areas can apply for funding from the SUEZ Communities Fund, distributed by Grantscape. You can find out if you are eligible to apply via the postcode checker on their website - SUEZ Communities Fund - Grantscape Details of other grants available can be found here Home | Lancashire County Council 4 Community. May the current Trustees and Staff take this opportunity to sincerely thank everybody who has contributed to the success of the fund, including all the past Trustees and Staff, and most importantly everyone who has put in the hard work and organized, or overseen, any of the projects we have supported. |
NewsPlease note that applications have now closed for our final round of funding.
