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 are available to those facing fuel poverty and have received money advice/guidance within the last six months.
Funding for initiatives that aim to address the drivers of financial resilience and promote lasting change - improving access to financial services, building financial capability, or tackling systemic barriers.
Capital funding for VCSE organisations that are building social connections across and between different communities.
