The Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE) have collated an array of free resources to help your organisation navigate through the cost-of-living crisis.
They have tools to help you assess and improve the energy efficiency of your building, the energy survey is a simple checklist combined with guidance notes for an easy to follow and implement guide. You can use it to decide on what improvements you want to install or identify measures you may be able to obtain funding for.
Moving on to funding, CSE have a fantastic spreadsheet of current grants available to the VCSE sector, access it here.
Look at case studies that follow up on how community businesses have made energy saving changes.
