The Breedon Group’s Whitemountain Programme provides grant funding for community and biodiversity projects

Since its beginnings in 2007, the Whitemountain (formerly Alpha) Programme has distributed over £8 million of funding to over 220 fantastic community and biodiversity projects through the Landfill Communities Fund. This funding helps groups to achieve their plans for positive change in their community.

Grants are available for projects making a positive impact at ground level, either developing facilities for community use or encouraging biodiversity and environmental improvements.

Grants 

Funding for the Whitemountain Programme is through the Landfill Communities Fund and is derived from Breedon Ireland’s operations at Mullaghglass landfill site near Lisburn.

Grants of between £5,000 and £25,000 are available.

Operations at Mullaghglass landfillsite are ceasing. The Whitemountain Programme will only receive applications on 21 October 2022 and the final round will be on 7 April 2023.

Eligible area 

If you have a great community or biodiversity focused project which lies within the 15 mile radius of Mullaghglass landfill site near Lisburn (and within 10 miles of a licensed landfill site), then why not apply?
