Biffa Award - Recreation Grants

The Biffa Award Recreation theme provides grants for projects that benefit people in their free time. This includes playparks, boardwalks, skateparks, woodland walks, nature trails, outdoor gyms, and renovations of sporting clubhouses that serve the wider community similar to village halls or community centres. The program gives priority to projects demonstrating wider community benefit and need, with facilities expected to be used by many people each week, benefiting different ages and demographics. The project must be eligible for registration with the schemes regulator and meet specific geographic and financial criteria. Applicant organizations must be fully constituted, charitable or not-for-profit with no share capital. Local authorities, councils, hospices, hospitals, day-care centres, activity centres, rehabilitation units, residential care facilities, allotments, nurseries, food banks and schools/colleges are not eligible. Projects must be located within five miles of a significant Biffa Operation or within 10 miles of an active Biffa Landfill Site, and also within 10 miles of a licensed landfill site.
