Love Essex Fund June 2026

Overview

This is the application survey for the Love Essex Fund.  

The Love Essex Fund supports local community groups, schools, and organisations with projects that reduce household waste. This funding round will provide micro-grants of up to £500 for food waste projects.  

For this specific round of funding, we are looking to exclusively support projects that help families to reduce household food waste in Essex.

These projects should either provide opportunities for the community to reduce their household food waste or provide them the skills and knowledge to do so. 

If you are unsure whether your project is suitable for funding, please check the criteria on the June funding round page.  

Successful applicants will be contacted from Monday 3 July 2026. If you have not heard from us by Monday 20 July 2026, your application will not have been successful. 

The application period closes just before midnight on Sunday 28 June 2026.  

Good luck!
