Sea Changers is offering grants of up to £2500 for community groups and other not-for-profit organisations to help prevent negative impacts on UK coastal and marine environments and species by reducing marine litter through the provision of well-located coastal water fountains that will significantly reduce the use of non-reusable plastic drinks bottles.
The Coastal Fountain Fund will support groups to cover the cost of purchasing a water fountain unit for installation in a busy or environmentally important coastal location.
Applications will be assessed against the following criteria:
- Need and impact - fountains should be placed in areas which either:
- Have significant public use/a lot of littering.
- Area of environmental importance or status.
- Viability to be operational within 2025.
- Sustainability.
- Value for money.
Funding is only for the cost of purchasing a water fountain. Installation or maintenance costs will not be considered.
This round will prioritise applications from Wales, Scotland, East Anglia, and Northeast and Northwest England.
The deadline for applications is 11 April 2025.
