Funding available to support new environmentally friendly projects

There's £50,000 available to support local projects which want to make better use of waste.

A special Crowdfunding workshop will be taking place in Acton sponsored by the environmental firm Veolia.

It will be held at Twyford Avenue Sports Ground in Acton on Februray 8 between 6pm - 8pm.

The funding is to help develop schemes that, inspire people and businesses to do the right thing with their waste; make use of recycled, reused or reclaimed materials; protect and preserve resources or enhance local environments.

Organisers say, ''Whether creating interesting spaces with reclaimed materials, making it easier to recycle or simply encouraging more people in your neighbourhood to reduce waste, this is your chance to make your community better!

''Join us to learn how you can use crowdfunding to transform the places where you live, work and spend your time. If you have a project idea for improving your area or want to support people who do then come along and learn how crowdfunding can help!''
