1. Community Climate Fund

Do you have any community project ideas to help tackle climate change or biodiversity loss? Applications are open once again for funding from the Community Climate Fund, with up to £5000 available per project to make them happen.

We have had an amazing response since the scheme launched in July 2020, with successful awards given to a range of voluntary and community groups, as well as churches, parish and neighbourhood councils. And we have recently improved the application process and guidance notes so that it is now even easier for you to use.

You are welcome to discuss your application before applying. Please call 01403 215156 or email communityclimatefund@horsham.gov.uk.
