Welcome to WREN

WREN is a not-for-profit business that awards grants for community, biodiversity and heritage projects from funds donated by FCC Environment through the Landfill Communities Fund and Scottish Landfill Communities Fund.

WREN was established in 1997 and since then has provided over £200m to more than 7,000 community and environmental projects throughout the UK.  

If you wish to apply for funding please see below for our two funding programmes.

WREN currently operates two funding programmes

FCC Community Action Fund

The FCC Community Action Fund is for applicants with projects in England situated within 10 miles of an FCC Environment landfill site.   Applications for funding can be made via our new online application system. 

FCC Scottish Action Fund

Landfill tax generated in Scotland is collected and managed differently and as a result the Scottish Landfill Communities Fund (SLCF) has replaced the UK scheme.   Applicants in Scotland wishing to apply for funding must apply to the FCC Scottish Action Fund.
