The grant scheme has been set up enable community groups and residents to join the ongoing work across the borough to make Wandsworth a net zero borough by 2043.
The rolling one-year scheme will see applications assessed once a month and, once awarded, groups will have up to six months to use the money. Details on what grants have been awarded and what they have achieved will be published in the council’s regular climate change newsletters.
Microgrants are part of the council's focus on working closely with local people to meet the challenge of the climate emergency.
It’s just part of a wide range of targets and actions in the Wandsworth Environment and Sustainability Strategy, which has just been updated.
Judi Gasser, cabinet member for environment, said: “It is vital that we all work together to meet our goals, and we want to empower individuals and groups within our community to help our borough reach net zero by 2043.
“If you have a good idea, get in touch so that together we can make Wandsworth more sustainable.”
