What they care about
Priority will be given to applications which enable new activities, focus on the top layers of the waste hierarchy (rethink, reduce, reuse), and include a whole-school or whole organisation approach.
Writing tips
Use terms such as 'waste hierarchy', 'rethink', 'reduce', 'reuse', and 'recycle' as these are key concepts for the funder.
Common mistakes to avoid
Applications that support existing activities or do not clearly demonstrate how waste will be avoided or diverted from landfill are less likely to be successful.
What makes a strong application
