Jenny Willott MP encourages local groups to apply for Green Grants Funding scheme  

Jenny Willott, Lib Dem MP for Cardiff Central, is encouraging local residents to take advantage of the Green Insurance Company's Green Grants scheme for local environmental projects. The Green Grants initiative, launched in 2010, offers communities throughout the UK the opportunity to apply for funding to help support local environmental projects. The initiative proved so successful last year that the company has doubled the initial funding value to a total of £40,000 for the coming awards. Last year more than 300 applications were received from environmental community groups across the UK. The initiative, which was awarded the title of Business Sustainability Initiative of the Year at the British Insurer Awards 2011, helps to promote sustainable living in local communities and raise awareness of the company brand for the eco-conscious consumer.
