In the Community

Melcourt Industries Limited

Crapper & Sons Landfill Ltd and Community First have continued to work together to provide essential funding for community projects within Wiltshire.

As a predominantly rural county, this funding has made a difference to people’s lives; in particular, through the provision of amenities which encourage social and sporting activities closer to where people live.

Funding Potential

The scope of project types has widened, and rather than just funding sports complexes, we are now funding community halls, play equipment and arts & heritage projects.

In 2022, due to a decrease in Landfill Tax, Crapper & Sons decided to only fund projects within Royal Wootton Bassett.

However, within months this decision was reversed and projects within 10 miles of the Crapper & Sons Landfill Site were again, invited to apply.
