Biffa Award: Recreation
Open
Last updated: 17/06/2025

Our Recreation theme covers projects which will benefit people in their free time, but also includes renovations of sporting clubhouses which demonstrate they serve the wider community, similar to a village hall or community centre attracting significant wider weekly group use, outside of sporting activities.
Examples of costs that can be funded through this theme include playparks, boardwalks, skateparks, woodland walks, nature trails and outdoor gyms.
