Under this scheme, Biffaward looks to award grants to projects that provide or improve community spaces, cultural facilities and places for outdoor recreation.
You may have a building that needs improvement in order to increase the range of services on offer to the local community. Or maybe an open space such as a park, play area or woodland that needs transforming to benefit local people of all ages. In a nutshell, they want to make sure that everyone has access to high quality local community facilities. Grants between £5,000 and £50,000 are available.

The main criteria for the Main Grants Community Scheme:
• The project's site is within 10 miles of a Biffa operation.
• The project's site is also within 10 miles of a landfill site (owned by any company).
• There will be a minimum of 104 days of full public access to the project per year.
• Any Biffaward grant will be used for site-based improvement work, not for equipment or running costs.
• Biffaward is unable to fund requests to help an existing facility meet the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act.
• Biffaward is unable to fund retrospectively, so you should only apply for money for work that will take place in the future.
