Applications open for the Run 4 Wales Climate Action Fund
Welsh climate projects are being encouraged to apply for funding from the Run 4 Wales Climate Action Fund.
Funding is available for groups and projects who are working on the nature and climate emergencies in Wales.
Run 4 Wales’ Climate Action Fund aims to balance the impact that hosting major events has on the environment.
Money is generated through Run 4 Wales’ events and includes contributions from event organisers and participants as well as event partners, Brecon Carreg and Rubicon. Those opting out of receiving a race t-shirt at the finish lines also see their t-shirt donation entering the fund pot.
Including this year’s total, more than £47,000 will have been donated to sustainable development projects and green initiatives across the country.
Now with the pot topped up from Run 4 Wales’ events in 2024, the events company is looking to help more projects with their goals.
Gareth Ludkin, Head of Sustainability at Run 4 Wales, said: “Our funding is open for any groups or projects working on the nature and climate emergencies in Wales.
“Whether it’s river restoration, carbon sequestration, community building, education, nature recovery, food, clean energy or something somewhere in between, we’re looking to hear from anyone doing good things for climate and nature in Wales.
“We’re open to help fund complete projects or contribute to larger ones. The main goal is to create the biggest impact possible.
“Thank you to our partners and participants who have contributed to the fund.”
Previous recipients of funding through the initiative include Size of Wales, Railway Gardens Project, Canolfan Waunfawr, Stump Up For Trees, The Initiative For Nature Conservation Cymru and Project Seagrass. Groups and projects who are interested in applying for the funding need to fill out this application form by 14 April.
