Community organisations in coastal locations can apply for a grant towards the cost of purchasing a drinking-water fountain. The grants are being made available by Sea-Changers in order to reduce the use of non-reusable plastic drinks bottles which have a negative impact on UK coastal and marine environments.
The grants are for water fountain bottle filling stations at or near UK beaches/marinas/coastal locations. The fund will cover the purchase of one fountain per successful applicant. The funding will only cover the cost of purchasing the water fountain unit up to £2,500 and does not cover installation or maintenance costs.
The proposed fountain must be in an area that has significant public use, a lot of littering or is of particular environmental importance or status.
Non-profit organisations of all types can apply, including charities, CICs, town, parish, district/borough councils, community councils and schools.
Focus of fund/fund aims:
