Biffaward is the fund name of Biffa Waste Services landfill tax credits. We offer help and advice to parish councils and community groups within Bedfordshire for the Main Grants Scheme. This is for grant applications between £5,000 – £45,000 and needs a third party partner to donate around 11% of the project costs.Biffaward's aim is to support projects that show an innovative use of a community amenity to enhance, maintain or introduce real community led social, economic or environmental improvements.
The types of project supported are:village halls, skateparks, nature reserves, community rooms, museum education rooms, voluntary sector led sporting facilities, internet cafes, green spaces, historic parks provision for children and teenagers, community gardens, civic spaces, cultural facilities, species restoration.
