£1000 grants for school and community projects

This year, we gave schools and community groups in Redbridge the chance to apply for a Climate Week grant of up to £1000 to hold an event to raise awareness of climate change during Climate Week (12-18 March).

We received some fantastic applications and Redbridge will see some exciting events take place across the Borough during Climate Week. See below to find out more.
