An £11m fund available to support projects across the 11 A-WINEP rural catchments.  Improving the ecological health of the waterbodies.

 

Launching on 28th January 2026 the fund will support projects across the 11 A-WINEP rural catchments and the two urban catchments of Great Yarmouth and Southend-on-sea (details below).

To apply for funding in the 11 rural catchments, projects must have at least one of the following two outcomes as their primary goal: 

  • To reduce nutrient (phosphate or nitrate) pollution into waterbodies that lie within the 11 target A-WINEP catchments
  • To mitigate the impact of low flow in waterbodies that lie within the 11 target A-WINEP catchments

Wider benefits, such as biodiversity, educational and community improvements will add additional strength to a project’s application but projects must, in the first instance, meet one of the outcomes detailed above.

 

Applications to the grant fund will go to a Review Panel, whose role it is to assess the strength of the application against other applications and decide on whether to grant funding.
