Cheshire Schools ESD Grant
Changing
Attitudes
Together
We are pleased to announce a new small grant scheme (maximum grant of £200) for Schools to help progress Education for Sustainable Development and the national Eco Schools award programme. This grant is funded by monies received from mobile phone, toner and ink cartridge recycling.
To apply for the grant, a school must have had an environmental review. Cheshire offer a free and confidential Environmental Review to all schools in the county. Schools must also have registered with the national Eco Schools programme.
The Council Environmental Mangement Coordinator is available to help provide advice and guidance. Contact Stefania Isbell on 01244 977263
