Projects helping to tackle climate change or protect the environment across Staffordshire could be eligible for a funding boost.

Staffordshire County Council’s Climate Action Fund will offer a pot of £91,500 to support local initiative.

In the four years since it was launched, the scheme has handed out £201,500 to help 290 projects.

Cllr Simon Tagg, Staffordshire County Council’s cabinet member for environment, infrastructure, and climate change, said:

> “Tackling climate change remains one of the county council’s top priorities and through these projects, and by all working together, we can make a real difference.  
>  
> “This is the fourth year of the scheme and I’m delighted that schools and community groups have another opportunity to fund important schemes.   
>  
> “There will be two rounds of funding – the first for applications received by 29th September.  
>  
> “It’s a great scheme, that we know is having an impact, and I would encourage groups to speak to their local county councillor and get their application in early to get the best chance of receiving funding.”  
>  
> Cllr Simon Tagg, Staffordshire County Council

The scheme sees each county councillor have £1,500 to give out in their area. Groups can apply to more than one county councillor and receive a total grant of up to £3,000\. 

To apply organisations will first need to speak with their county councillor and then apply online at [www.staffordshire.gov.uk/climatefund](http://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/climatefund?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).
