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.
The Charles Hayward Foundation fund preventative and early intervention programmes being delivered at the community level which allow older people to stay in their own homes and remain independent.
Asda Foundation have funding available for community groups to provide a safe space for people to meet and be together.
This programme is for small local charities and CICs which are led by and working with people who are experiencing economic inequity because of their race or ethnicity.
