Are you part of a group or club that wants to promote the circular economy, re-use or repair activities in your local area?

Waterford City and County Council invites submissions from community groups, youth groups, schools or other community development organisations, based in County Waterford, who are interested in receiving funding for circular economy initiatives regarding waste prevention, reuse and repair.

The main focus for projects this year should be on repair or reuse and projects to promote a circular economy e.g. reuse via a sharing system e.g. Circular Cups for Communities, repair events, toy library, clothes swap, reduce use of single use items (encourage use of reusable items), etc. Applications for projects under these themes will be prioritised for funding.
