Edward Pears Stobart (18th April 1929 – 25th November 2024) was a British businessman who started an agriculture business in the late 1940s. This became Eddie Stobart Limited in 1970 and expanded to a haulage company during the 1970s with the help of his son, Edward Stobart (1954–2011). The company now trades as Stobart.
The Stobart Sustainability Fund is aimed at supporting community-led sustainability projects and initiatives led by non-profit organisations, community groups and educational facilities across the UK, such as schools and colleges, to help them transform their local community through projects that tackle climate change, reduce carbon emissions or that protect and enhance the environment.
Applications are welcomed from community groups, educational facilities or small businesses. Applications need to be of a green, ecological or sustainability nature with the project benefiting the environment.
The Fund’s web pages don’t give an indication of typical grant size, but we think it’s safe to assume that awards are likely to be small, possibly for £5,000 or less.
Applications may be made at any time using the application form on the Fund’s website.
