Defra greener living fund

A new £6 million fund to help charitable and voluntary organisations support and develop environmental projects throughout England has been announced by Environment Secretary Hilary Benn this month. The Greener Living Fund will help voluntary organisations promote positive environmental changes to individuals and communities, helping them reduce their carbon footprints, make greener lifestyle choices and find new ways to rely less on our natural resources.
