Flagship Scheme

2008 Flagship Scheme is now closed for applications.

The Flagship Scheme is now closed for applications. The Flagship Scheme application process will re-open again in 2009. Please keep checking the website for dates on next years Flagship Scheme.

What is the Flagship Scheme?

Through our Flagship Scheme we look to fund projects that have something unique and exciting that no other project in the region, or country, has.  Grants of £150,000 - £500,000 are available. 

What will we fund?

The Flagship Scheme supports two themes - rebuilding biodiversity and cultural facilities.  We no longer fund community buildings through the Flagship Scheme. 

Projects must be site-based, within 25 miles of a Biffa operation and ten miles of an active landfill.  The organisation making the application must be eligible to enrol with ENTRUST as an Environmental Body.

When - and how - do I apply?

Unlike our Small and Main Grants schemes, Flagship applications are only accepted at a certain time each year.  The new first stage 'Expression of Interest' form was available from 1 March 2008, by contacting our Regional Grants Officers.  The closing date was 1 July 2008.  If you are interested in applying, please keep checking the webiste for dates of the 2009 Flagship Scheme. 

The timescale for the current round of Flagships is below:
