The UK Government has released a new VCSE Energy Efficiency Scheme to help VCSE organisations deliver more efficient services for people and communities by saving money on energy bills. Up to £23.4m is available in total. Up to £3.4m will be available to deliver Independent Energy Assessments (IEAs) for VCSE organisations and up to £20m will be available for VCSE organisations to apply for a capital grant to implement energy efficiency measures identified in their IEA.

If successful in application, an Independent Energy Assessment will take place to identify energy-saving opportunities in your building and after the assessment is complete, you can apply for capital grants of between £2,000 and £150,000 to be used to support the delivery of your frontline services.
