• Our standard pledge is a maximum of £1000. However, we are offereing to double our pledge to a maximum of £2000 for projects with a positive focus on plastic waste!

We want to help small projects make a big difference to their communities. If you think your project could inspire your neighbours to increase the amount of waste they recycle, or if your project will create a better environment, we want to hear from you.

1. Create a project page on Spacehive outlining your idea
2. Get matched to our fund and others
3. Pitch for a pledge from funds
4. Your project will be verified to check the costs and permissions
5. Start your crowdfunding campaign
6. We'll pledge alongside the crowd - if your pitch to us is successful

We will generally seek to fund properly constituted not-for-profit organisations, such as charities, community groups and schools. However, we will also consider smaller groups as appropriate. We welcome applications from projects from across London but priority will be given to those based in the areas where we work with the Local Authority to deliver household recycling and waste services. These include the following boroughs: Watford, Brent, Haringey, Westminster, Southwark, Lambeth, Richmond, Kingston, Merton, Sutton, Croydon, Bromley and the City of London.
