The VCSE Energy Efficiency Scheme will help voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) to deliver more efficient services for people and communities by saving money on their energy bills.
The VCSE Energy Efficiency Scheme is offering independent energy assessments to help identify energy-saving opportunities in your building.
From January, the scheme will also be offering capital grants to implement measures recommended in your assessment.
Applicant organisations must be a VCSE delivering frontline services. They must be able to demonstrate that they are financially sustainable, require support around energy and are not suitable for blended finance or loan support through other schemes.
The scheme is funded as part of a package of over £100 million of support being delivered by the Government to help frontline delivery organisations with the increased cost of living.
Eligible organisations can apply for capital grants of between £2,000 and £150,000. Grants can be used to install energy efficiency measures, identified in your energy assessment, to reduce your building’s energy costs and support the delivery of your frontline services.
The scheme will close in August 2024.
