The new £15 million Energy Resilience Fund is designed to help your organisation improve its energy efficiency and protect its compliance with Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) standards.
Many community buildings are already failing to meet these standards, which are set to rise significantly by 2030. Without adequate funding, the energy efficiency gap between community and domestic buildings will continue to widen. The Energy Resilience Fund offers an exciting opportunity to not only meet existing standards, but to exceed them and future-proof your organisation for long-term sustainability.
At a time when so many charities are facing financial strain, investing your limited resources in long-term improvements may not be a priority. But the Social Investment Business’ Energy Resilience Fund is here to help you make meaningful changes that will save you money in the long run.
Blended grants and loans between £25,000-250,000 will make it possible for you to carry out works, purchase new equipment or replace older vehicles. These improvements won’t just reduce carbon emissions and set you on the road toward net zero. They’ll also save you money and help to secure the future of your organisation.
Grants to support grassroots organisations providing safe social spaces, mentoring, work, or social skills for young people aged 11 to 25 years old. Priorities are safe spaces, diversionary activities and life skills.
Grants available for UK-based Charities/Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs) working with vulnerable children and young adults, especially those at risk of sexual and other forms of exploitation.
Grants for UK-registered charities for projects supporting people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Projects should provide life skills, including food education, healthy living and budgeting.
