This fund is to support communities reducing their carbon footprint. The fund has been set up to help cover the remaining 25%-50% of community project costs once funding has been secured from other sources. The maximum amount offered is £25,000 unless there are exceptional circumstances. This is both revenue and capital costs, so can be used by groups to cover some of the set up costs of developing their ideas.
An application form is submitted and funding maybe offered following the decision of a judging panel.
For advice to communities please contact John Taylor, Suffolk Climate Change Partnership Community Advisor on 01473 432096 or john.taylor@ipswich.gov.uk or for the application form contact Chris Dashper on chris.dashper@suffolk.gov.uk .
