About
WREN
Waste Recycling Environmental Limited (WREN) was established in
1997. WREN is a company limited by guarantee and a non-profit
making Environmental Body (EB) registered to fund projects which
are “eligible” under the Landfill Communities Fund Grant Scheme.
WREN receives the majority of its funding from its parent company
- the Waste Recycling Group under
the terms of this Scheme. It allows landfill operators to obtain
company tax benefits in return for distributing a percentage of
their profits for environmental purposes.
Heritage Fund
Under Object E of the Landfill Communities Fund (LCF), WREN is able to fund
the repair, maintenance or restoration of a building or structure of
architectural or historic importance including places of worship.
The WREN Board has directed that grant funding will be made available
annually for historic building restoration and a new WREN Heritage Fund
programme has been established. This funding programme will be directly
managed and administered by WREN. WREN is now working in partnership with
English Heritage, Historic Scotland, Cadw (Wales) and the National Churches
Trust who have all helped in the development of this programme.
Who can apply for funding?
Please note WREN will not consider nor accept applications submitted directly
by applicants. All Heritage Fund applications must be recommended to us and
supported by one of our 4 key partner organisations (see details below).
The key criteria for this new funding programme will be as follows:
- WREN will only consider funding for Grade 1 (Grade A in Scotland) and Grade
2 *star listed buildings or structures including places of worship.
- WREN wishes to support priority heritage projects that urgently need repairs
within the next 2 years.
- WREN will consider awarding grants from £15,001 and up to £50,000
specifically for capital costs of fabric repair /restoration work for historic
buildings and structures including places of worship.
- This will be an annual programme of funding.
- All projects must be situated witihn 10 miles of an active and licensed
Waste Recycling Group landfill site.
