SMALL GRANTS CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE
WREN is pleased to announce the launch of its new small grant scheme. The scheme has been designed for projects with a total cost of under £50,000 and grants can be awarded between £2,000 and £15,000. Typical projects suitable under the WREN small grant scheme might include village halls or community centres, skates parks and play areas, footpaths or towpaths, cycleways or museums.
In Cheshire, as an example of how a small grant can make a big difference, WREN awarded £3,500 to the red squirrel captive breeding programme at Walton Hall Gardens in Warrington. The project aims to establish breeding pairs for release in to suitable areas where red squirrel populations have been in decline.

WREN distributes £15 million annually to eligible projects under the Landfill Communities Fund. Waste Recycling Group (WRG) set up WREN to ensure its landfill tax credits are used cost effectively and benefit the maximum number of people, especially those who live near landfill sites.
