This week, 24 fantastic projects were approved to receive funding through the Kent Community Waste Prevention Fund (funded by the Kent Resource Partnership) totalling £60,500.

There were some tough decisions for the grants panel to make, with 38 applications to the fund demonstrating a variety of approaches to waste reduction and prevention. All of those selected strongly demonstrated one or more of our main selection categories: waste reduction, social value, innovation and legacy. 

Projects approved covered all 12 boroughs and districts in Kent (exc. Medway) and featured a library of things, a toy library, refill, furniture repair, repair cafe efficiency and data capture, PAT testing, textile repair, composting and food waste training courses.

We’d like to thank all who applied, and will try our hardest to make relevant connections to funds and teams who can support those who were unlucky not to be selected on this occasion.

More project details to come!
