Tech Rescue: Climate Action Hubs grant
Good Things Foundation is delighted to be working with The National Lottery Community Fund, to work in partnership with others to deliver a three year programme addressing the UK’s growing electronic waste crisis through bold, community-led climate action.
What is the Tech Rescue: Climate Action Hubs grant?
Funding for up to 12 organisations across the UK who are experienced in delivering a device refurbishment initiative to become Community Climate Action Hubs. There will be one in each of the 9 regions and one in each devolved Nation.
Successful applicants will play a lead role in local delivery and in shaping the development of toolkits, campaigns, and national learning. Including:
- Training individuals or organisations to become e-waste champions
- Running community repair and/or reuse awareness workshops
- Being an Ambassador for the programme, sharing knowledge and expertise and championing your work and your organisation in media and press opportunities organised by Good Things
- Collaborating with Good Things to engage local device contributors
Project period
The programme launches in June 2026 with a set up and co-design phase running until December 2026.
The core contract is for engagement with the programme between December 2026 and May 2029.
