The Hirst Brierley Fund
We believe that looking after our environment can have a real impact on the quality of life for local people. This Fund is therefore dedicated to improving the local environment - whether that means turning a piece of wasteland into a garden or organising litter picking days. We will look to fund projects that improve the physical environment in a way that also benefits the wider community.
This fund was established to support environmental projects across Kirklees. Grants are invited up to £1,000. The available funding will support project and equipment expenditure, and running costs.
Some examples of supported activity include:
- Tree planting
- Salary costs
- Purchasing wild flower seeds and planting expenditure
- Obtaining equipment, (spades, trowels, etc.)
- Purchasing peat free compost
- River clean-ups
- Improvement works, tree thinning, removal of non-native species
- Purchasing bat and bird boxes
- School environmental projects and learning activities
- Forest Schools
- Land and river management
- Wildlife surveys
This fund will open again on June 1st and close for applications on June 30th 2021.
