VOLUNTARY or community groups in Studley and Alcester with ideas to reduce Warwickshire’s carbon footprint and the impact of climate change are being urged to join a webinar organised by the county council and CAVA – Community and Voluntary Action.
It’s aimed at helping organisations thinking about applying to the £1million Green Shoots Community Climate Change Fund.
It’s on on Wednesday, April 21 on Zoom from 7pm to 8pm and will give local groups and organisations an opportunity to find out more about the fund, understand the application process and quiz the expert panel.
The hour-long event will include a climate change overview, a summary of the Green Shoots fund and the application process.
Places need to be booked here
It follows the approval last year by the county council’s Cabinet of a new £1m community fund for local schemes that will have an impact on carbon emissions and help address the climate change emergency in Warwickshire.
The fund is open for its first round of applications, looking to support community and voluntary projects that achieve the following:
Increase the adaptability and resilience of Warwickshire to the effects of climate change.
Reduce impacts on the environment, particularly regarding climate change.
Ensure funded projects benefit the wider Warwickshire community.
