SITA Trust announces changes to Enhancing Communities funding regions for 2009
SITA Trust has announced changes to its 2009 Enhancing Communities programme which will enable projects to be funded in many new regions of the UK.
From today SITA Trust will accept applications from projects in England which are within 3 miles of qualifying SITA UK waste treatment sites. This provides access to the fund to projects situated in more urban areas and some of the UK’s most disadvantaged communities.
Previously applications were welcomed only from projects located within a 10 mile radius of the landfill sites owned and operated by recycling and waste management company SITA UK.
From today there are more than 60 new qualifying SITA UK waste treatment sites included in the programme and new funding opportunities for communities in Avon, East Anglia, Kent, London, and Yorkshire.
