The Fund is to support projects that improve the water environment around the Bristol Avon catchment. It can fund work such as, walkover surveys, data collection, habitat improvements or community engagement and project development. Bids to the Fund have the most chance of being successful if they deliver on one or more of the BACP aims. These are:
- Enhance people’s enjoyment and connection with the water environment
- Improve water quality
- Restore biodiversity and ecological connectivity
- Adapt and build resilience to a changing climate
Further details on our four aims can be found in the BACP Catchment Plan 2022-2027, which can be found here: Catchment Plan.
Both the Main Grants Scheme and Community Grants Scheme will be open.
Applications must be submitted by Sunday 4th May 2025 23:59 to be considered at the next assessment panel meeting. We will endeavour to provide applicants with an outcome for their applications by the end of May 2025.
