RE-FILL, RE-USE, RE-CYCLE CHARITY COMPETITION

Douwe Egberts UK is running a competition to give small charities the chance to win £10k for a project that benefits their local community. Second and third place prizes of £5k and £3k will also be awarded. Any cause that has a registered UK charity number and an annual turnover of between £5,000 and £50,000 can enter the competition. When entering you will be asked to outline a specific project for which you intend to use the winning donation.


This project should fit within the three categories (re-use, re-fill and

re-cycle) as outlined below.



The three different entry categories:

* Re-fill is about replenishing a project low on funding so you

can continue your good work.

* Re-use is about restoring facilities that are falling into

disrepair or which are needed for a different use

* Re-cycle is about transforming something old and unusable into

something useful, like turning wasteland into allotments.
