Cory Environmental Trust in Britain (CETB) is celebrating its 10th anniversary by offering a one-off £100,000 grant to a local community project.
The Trust was set up a decade ago to distribute money raised from landfill tax to environmental or community organisations within 10 miles of Cory Environmental Limited’s 40 landfill sites. So far it has distributed £10 million to over 250 projects.
Trust Secretary Angela Haymonds said: "I'd really encourage projects which have the local community or environment at the heart of their plans to apply to CETB for funding. This one-off substantial grant is a fantastic opportunity to create a lasting resource. You never know, it could be your town or village celebrating with CETB!"
