Community organisations in England can apply for a share of £250,000 of funding to reduce energy usage and carbon footprint. The funding is being made available through the Energy Efficiency Sharematch fund. It can be used to install on-site energy generation measures like solar panels and heat pumps, improve building energy efficiency through insulation and LED lighting, and upgrade operational equipment to more energy-efficient alternatives. Funded by Access – The Foundation for Social Investment using Dormant Assets Scheme funds, this grant is administered by Crowdfunder in partnership with Co-operatives UK. Most grants will be £10,000-15,000. The application process requires an initial expression of interest, followed by a formal application through the Crowdfunder platform for eligible projects. The fund’s application closing date is March 2026, and the goal is to allocate all funds before this deadline. Funding for Community Organisations to Enhance their Energy Efficiency (England)
