ScottishPower Foundation 2026 Biodiversity and Climate Change Projects
Arts Connection- Cyswllt Celf
Rooted in Place
Rooted in Place brings communities in Powys and Wrexham together through inclusive, creative, and eco-focused experiences. Led by Arts Connection, the project strengthens community bonds, boosts environmental awareness, and supports wellbeing through hands-on arts, outdoor learning, and co-creation. Participants will gain practical skills, creative confidence, and a deeper sense of belonging, with each school producing a tangible outcome that can be shared back with the wider community.
Cunninghame Furniture Recycling Company
CFRC Mattress Reuse Project
Cunninghame Furniture Recycling Company helps families across North, East, and South Ayrshire by collecting unwanted furniture for free and supplying affordable items to those in need. Building on this, the company is expanding its mattress cleaning project, turning products headed for landfill into low-cost, reusable mattresses. The initiative boosts stock, cuts waste, reduces carbon emissions, and supports households across Ayrshire and beyond.
Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust
Marine Explorers
The project is expanding to new schools and youth ambassador groups, empowering young people to tackle local challenges, amplify their voices, and drive collective action to protect Scotland’s marine wildlife. Taking the charity’s innovative programme to fresh communities along the west coast, it will introduce new activities and audiences. As a highlight, schools from Skye and Mallaig will join two week-long “floating classroom” workshops aboard the charity’s whale research yacht, bringing marine science to life at sea.
