The Trust awards grants under the terms of the Landfill Communities Fund (LCF), providing funding to a broad range of projects that have as big an impact on the community as possible.
The Trust is committed to supporting community and environmental projects across the UK. These include improving community halls, the creation of new play areas and skate parks, and restoring green spaces.
If you have a project or an idea for a project, please call Trust Manager, Angela Haymonds, on 01753 582513 to check whether your project would be eligible and for guidance on putting your application together, if your project is located in the NE region, please contact Nicky Graves, NE Area Manager on 07902 564313.

Enovert’s Himley (Dudley) and Barling (Southend) landfill sites are now closed and as a result the Trust will close to new applications from these areas at its October 2026 meeting (deadline 4 September 2026). Bristol/South Glos, Sevenoaks, St Helens, the London Borough of Bexley, Wrexham and Swansea, are no longer covered by the Trust following the closure of waste management facilities, a change in ownership, or devolution of the landfill tax in Wales.
