Greener living fund
Defra launched a new fund to promote greener living. Its main delivery phase will run between April 2009 to March 2011. It complements other initiatives under the ‘Act on CO2’ banner.
Purpose of funding
Applicants drew up projects, and showed that they had the ability and reach to implement, projects or programmes that would influence pro-environmental behaviours in the wider population.

Selection of delivery partners
Delivery partners were selected competitively through a two stage application process. We received 112 concept notes in December 2008 and from these, 17 were shortlisted. These projects were then funded to produce full applications, from which the 8 successful projects were selected.
