Since 2004, we have awarded significant grants to a wide range of community and environmental projects that enhance the quality of life in local areas.
Augean is able to direct a proportion of its landfill tax liability towards projects that deliver lasting benefits for nearby communities.
This funding has helped support everything from community facilities and outdoor spaces to environmental improvements and heritage initiatives.
Examples of the types of projects that can be supported are set out below:
The Augean Community Fund is managed by Grantscape, who provide expert and friendly support to organisations applying for funding.
The fund benefits projects located within a 5 mile radius of Port Clarence in Teesside and a 10 mile radius of ENRMF in North Northamptonshire and our Thornhaugh site near Peterborough.
Funding is focused on projects that enhance community facilities and public amenities, promote biodiversity and conservation, or protect and celebrate local heritage.
If you have a community project please contact Grantscape to see if it could qualify for support from the Augean Community Fund:

As part of the planning consent to accept Low Level Waste at ENRMF, a separate fund was established to benefit local projects and community groups. Recently renamed as the Augean Revenue and Small Capital Grants Fund it has been administered by North Northamptonshire Council since March 2022.
Grants are available up to £5,000 for capital costs and, unlike the Augean Community Fund, applications can also be made to cover running costs up to £10,000.
Those within a 10-mile radius of the ENRMF site are eligible to apply, but if interest in funding is high a preference will be given to applications from within a 5-mile radius.
There are two rounds of funding each year. To find out more or to apply please visit:
