Improving the environment in green and innovative ways
The Greater Manchester Environment Fund (GMEF) exists to bring great causes and great supporters together.
The fund is a partnership between The Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside, and The Greater Manchester Combined Authority It brings together communities and organisations that are keen to channel their resources into addressing environmental problems of every size across the city region.
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) has launched a small sustainability grants scheme – Eco Grants for Schools in Greater Manchester. The scheme will see up to £2,000 per project awarded to schools in the city-region, giving schools the incentive to trial and deliver sustainable lifestyle school projects, enriching their curriculum and giving pupils the skills to work through the many stages of delivering a tangible, local project they can be proud of.
