The One Planet Living (OPL) Grant scheme is open to schools, community groups and charitable organisations. Applications can be made to local B & Q stores for funding to support a local community project. Projects must meet at least one of the following themes:
The scheme provides £50 to £250 (at retail cost) of B&Q materials, for example, ‘grow your own’ projects, pond liners, plants, peat – free compost for projects such as a pond/wildlife garden or paints labelled low or minimal VOC for redecoration projects. It is important that the project is sustainable. The final result should have a long lasting benefit to the community. OPL grants do not cover maintenance, so the project should be designed for easy care.
To apply for a grant, applicants will need to contact the environmental champion or store manager at their local B&Q store to discuss project details.
Projects can apply for funding between 1 February 2010 and 30 September 2010. Successful projects must collect their materials no later than 31 October 2010.
