Climate Change Community Fund. Let us know if you are interested in developing a slacc application
South Lakeland District Council’s (SLDC’s) Climate Change Community Fund has been launched to support the authority’s aim of achieving net zero carbon emissions.
Applications will be considered from charities, community interest companies, parish councils, voluntary groups and other not-for-profit organisations in South Lakeland looking to reduce carbon, enhance biodiversity to support carbon offsetting measures (through, for example, tree planting or peat restoration), address community behaviour change and consumption habits or promote community/ domestic energy efficiency.
The funding must be spent to benefit the local community and the fund will support up to a maximum of 50% of total costs (more than 50% for groups with an exceptional case).
Initially, £20,000 is available. Grants will be for a minimum of £500 and maximum of £5,000.
The fund can support all costs relating to projects or activity, including: core costs (for example staff or office costs), project costs (for example venue hire, project worker) and capital costs (such as supporting the cost of a renewable installation).
