Lancashire Environmental Fund Limited

The funder supports projects in the areas of environment, community development, children and youth, sport and recreation, and heritage. Activities funded include capital works, equipment purchases, and project delivery. Projects must meet Landfill Tax Credit Scheme criteria, with priorities including public amenities and parks, habitat and species conservation, and historic buildings. The funder works across the whole of Lancashire county, benefiting the general public, children, and young people. Both environmental and community-focused projects are considered, with an emphasis on projects that provide clear ecological and public benefits.

Registered charities, community groups, trusts, unincorporated associations, and community-led groups can apply. The funder prioritises projects that benefit the general public, children, and young people. Eligible projects must be located within Lancashire, but not in the unitary authorities of Blackpool or Blackburn with Darwen. Projects must also align with the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme criteria, focusing on public amenities, habitat conservation, or historic buildings.

The funder does not support projects outside Lancashire. Projects based in the unitary authorities of Blackpool and Blackburn with Darwen are also excluded from funding.

The funder provides grants for capital works, equipment, and project delivery, rather than ongoing core costs. Funding is directed through the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme, which underpins its focus on environmental offsetting and community benefits. The funder welcomes applications from eligible organisations across Lancashire.
