COMMUNITY groups in Gloucestershire are invited to apply for funding to tackle the climate crisis.
Gloucestershire County Council is offering £50,000 in grants to help reduce carbon emissions and the impacts of climate change.
The Community Climate Change Fund has already awarded more than £98,000 to 24 projects since January 2024.
The money has been used to improve local facilities, make buildings warmer and reduce costs for community spaces.
The first round of funding supported organisations to grow enough vegetables for 800 meals, engage with 30 businesses on rail travel, support 15 new volunteers, run eight training sessions for young people, offer training for parish councillors, installation of a large in-vessel composter, as well as a cycle shelter, ten solar panels, thermal imaging cameras and LED lightbulbs.

"This round of funding will mean the council has provided more than £100,000 to community projects."

Liverpool OVERTAKE Arsenal in €100m talks
Liverpool have reportedly overtaken Arsenal in pursuit of a €100m forward. The Reds are now closest to making this happen. Luis Diaz has massively complicated things at Liverpool. The Colombian wasn't supposed to leave this summer or at the least, the Reds didn't think he would. Diaz isn't exactly an untouchable at Anfield but the idea that someone would pay his asking price seemed farfetched. And the to be fair, it has been. Barcelona and Bayern Munich have each pushed for Diaz in the last few weeks. Both failed to get anywhere near what Liverpool would want in order to sell. But now the winger has made it clear to Liverpool that he wants out. And that may well force their hand as offers continue to arrive. At the very least, it has the Reds seeking a replacement and they appear to have found a very high-profile one. Liverpool lead Rodrygo race AS claims Liverpool are now at the front of the queue for Rodrygo. The outlet mentions that the Reds view him as a replacement for Diaz, should he leave the club this summer. And so they'll fly in for talks about Rodrygo. A deal might be able to happen, even if Real Madrid want €100m for their player. Importantly, Arsenal - previously considered favourites to sign Rodrygo - are now 'more distant' in the race than Liverpool. The Reds have stolen a march on the Gunners, pushing to the front and now signing the Brazilian is a real possibility. But there is a way to go just yet. Liverpool won't sign Rodrygo unless Diaz leaves but that will take a large fee in order to cover signing the replacement.
