Landfill Community Fund

The Landfill Community Fund (LCF, formerly the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme) was set up in 1996 to allow landfill operators to donate funds towards local community and environmental projects. The scheme is regulated by Entrust.

Legislation restricts the type of projects schemes can Fund. Funding can only be spent on projects falling under a number of approved ‘Objects’. For full details of the eligible ‘Objects’ please refer to the guidance notes below or the Entrust website.

A recent change to LCF is the inclusion of volunteering in selection criteria. Organisations distributing LCF have been instructed to give priority to projects that incorporate a youth (16-25 year old) volunteering element in their delivery.

EPAC - British Energy

British Energy distribute LCF through their EPAC programme. The fund is administered by Groundwork Wakefield's Trading Company, Wakefield Environmental Developments Ltd (WEDL). Please contact Kieran Morris on 01924 307222 if you require further information. The next Steering Group meeting to allocate available funding is on 15 December 2008.
