The VCSE Energy Efficiency Scheme will help voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations across England deliver more efficient services for people and communities by saving money on their energy bills. The scheme is funded as part of a package of over £100 million of support being delivered by the Government to help frontline delivery organisations with the increased cost of living.
Applicant organisations must be a VCSE, based in England, and deliver frontline services. They must be able to demonstrate that they are financially sustainable, require support around energy and are not suitable for blended finance or loan support through other schemes.
How does it work?
Check your eligibility for an Independent Energy Assessment (IEA) or a Capital Grant. If successful, you will be matched with an independent energy assessor who will work with you to assess your building and help identify energy-saving opportunities.
With a satisfactory IEA, and provided you meet the wider eligibility criteria, your organisation may also apply for a Capital Grant of between £2,000 and £150,000. This can be used to install capital energy efficiency measures, identified in your IEA, to reduce your building’s energy costs and support the delivery of your frontline services. The next round of funding will open in April 2024.
