Projects and funding
We prioritise projects with the biggest impact. We fund projects for:
- new windows and doors, reducing heating needs
- more energy-efficient and eco-friendly heating systems
- better insulation (not including structural work to roofs)
- solar panels and storage batteries
- LED lights and movement sensors
- sustainable water harvesting systems
We fund grants up to £25,000. Your club must pay at least 20% of the total cost. This includes having an energy survey as part of your stage 2 application. If your application is unsuccessful, we will pay 50% of your energy survey cost.
