Wessex Water Foundation Environment Fund

The Wessex Water Foundation Environment Fund supports charitable and community activities that improve local biodiversity or have a positive impact on the environment for local people in Somerset. The programme provides grants to help communities engage in environmental activities that benefit their local area, restore and maintain the natural environment, and support local biodiversity. Priority areas include reducing water use, improving environmental sustainability (reducing waste, recycling, using reusable alternatives, and reducing energy and water consumption), and improving local biodiversity. The main focus is on activities that have a direct environmental impact rather than primarily people-focused outcomes like mental health and wellbeing. The fund is managed by Somerset Community Foundation and is available to eligible local groups that meet minimum organizational and financial standards.
