How could your school tackle plastic waste with a grant of up to £500?
Plastic Clever Schools is endorsed by the UN Ocean Decade and provides free, high-quality resources to take action on climate change by tackling plastic pollution.
The resources are accredited by the Royal Meteorological Society as Quality Climate Education Resources.
Sometimes though, it helps to have financial support. Maybe a supply teacher to cover a class and help you get ready, or new equipment to implement change.
That’s why we’re delighted to launch the latest round of the Plastic Clever Schools Action Fund. The fund provides grants of up to £500 to help schools deliver action on plastic waste. We welcome schools from around the world to apply.
If you haven’t done so already, please register for Plastic Clever Schools before completing this simple application form.
1. Your school must be registered on Plastic Clever Schools (takes five minutes)
2. Complete the grant application, describing how you propose to spend a grant to help your school become Plastic Clever.
3. Commit to uploading evidence of your activity and complete the award within one term of receiving the grant.
