Grant News

Community energy groups across the UK are invited to register their interest for funding to support projects that deliver positive social and environmental outcomes within local communities.

Funded by Younity in partnership with Your Co-op Energy, the Powering Communities Fund aims to help groups and organisations deliver social impact projects, such as creating community resources, running events for young people, or starting a community garden.

Grants of up to £3,750 can be used to cover the costs of:

• equipment
• local events or workshops
• staff costs
• volunteer training
• additional activities to expand an existing project
• support for an organisation to achieve a quality or other standard, relevant to their activities
• developing a local service or venue

To be eligible, organisations must have a current or upcoming Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Younity or have utilised their Kickstart Loan facility.
