Groundwork Offers New Funding For VCSE Organisations

This funding is to improve the energy efficiency of buildings used by VCSE organisations. The VCSE Energy Efficiency Scheme provides Government funding to undertake energy assessments of buildings and full funding to implement energy efficiency improvements. Full eligibility criteria will be published in the coming weeks, but organisations must be based in England, be a voluntary, community, and social enterprise, deliver frontline services and not be suitable for blended finance or loan support through other schemes. Priority will be given to organisations for whom energy is the biggest concern and those directly supporting individuals and communities with critical needs, particularly those related to the rising cost of living. The programme is being delivered nationally by Groundwork.
