Pitch for the Planet: Call for Eco Project Proposals
Pitch for the Planet invites VCSE organisations to submit a short proposal for a practical sustainability action. The programme is designed to support organisations in Bolton to take meaningful steps.
Organisations may apply for funding to support a range of activities, such as:
- Providing sustainability‑related training for staff or volunteers
- Purchasing simple solutions or equipment that help reduce energy use or waste
- Running an event to showcase an eco‑project and share learning with others
Shortlisted applicants will be invited to present their ideas at an open public event where attendees can listen to the pitches and vote for the projects they believe should be funded. Grants of up to £750 will be awarded to help turn selected ideas into action.
Key Dates
- Application deadline: Midnight on 2 April 2026
- Pitch for the Planet event: 29 April 2026 at 6:00pm
After submitting a proposal, organisations will be informed if they have been shortlisted by the independent panel.
