Resources and How To Guides
In this section of our website, you can access all of our published 'How To' guides and training resources. These guides and documents have been created to support Environmental Bodies (EBs) in all of their Landfill Communities Fund (LCF) activities and responsibilities. The table shows all of the documents with a brief description of the training resource. You can then click on the orange link under the 'file type' column to access the resource.
If you are looking for the ENTRUST Guidance Manual this is available in the Guidance section of our website. The Guidance section sets out the obligations and responsibilities that EBs must adhere to and this is what compliance is assessed against. The guides below are practical resources to explain how to complete forms or find funding. They also include helpful introductory guides and a handover checklist for when one volunteer or member of staff needs to hand over responsibilities to another person.
If you still require further advice or support please contact the ENTRUST Helpline by calling 01926 488 300 or email Helpline@entrust.org.uk
