As part of Swindon Borough Council’s commitment to Local Agenda 21 and sustainable development, grants of up to £500 are available to any group involved in improving their local environment (e.g. a litter pick, a tree plant, etc.), local community (e.g. “reclaiming the streets”) local economy (e.g. schemes that encourage learning and skills development). Ideally, projects should be a combination of all three areas, as these criteria form the basis of sustainable development and Local Agenda 21. The grants are discretionary and are designed to pump prime projects that would otherwise not get off the ground. They can also be used as a basis to gain match funding from other organisations. LA21 grants are one-off grants, so groups who may miss out this year can be considered again. However, we will accept applications from organisations who have received this grant before, but only for a different project and not to cover the group’s administration costs. |

Quality of Life Awards One of the key responsibilities of the Local Agenda 21 Co-ordinator for Swindon Borough Council is to engage the support of local individuals, groups, businesses and organisations, to take action now to help protect our local environment and thus contribute to the protection of our planet for future generations. In order to promote such action, a special working group has developed the Quality of Life Awards. The scheme seeks to raise awareness of Agenda 21 and reward projects or activities that support the aims and objectives contained in Swindon’s Local Agenda 21 strategy ‘Seeds of Change’. Individuals or groups who have helped Swindon to become more environmentally, economically or socially sustainable could win this prestigious award which recognises their contribution to improve the quality of life in the Borough. Applications will be judged according to the following criteria:
The closing date for applications is December 16th 2002 and the awards will be presented at an awards ceremony on February 20th 2003. Further information regarding this briefing note can be obtained from Lynn Forrester (Local Agenda 21 Co-ordinator) on direct dial No. 466167.
