National Lottery Energy Fund 2024 – for community groups

Community groups in Northern Ireland are set to benefit from grants of up to £50,000 for energy efficiency projects.

The National Lottery Community Fund is launching a £5m Sustainable Community Buildings programme. The funds are issued for improvements like solar panels, insulation and heat pumps. The resulting savings could allow groups to put more of their resources into their activities, rather than paying increasing energy bills.

Organisations applying to the programme will get free carbon literacy training to help them understand how to reduce their carbon footprint. They will also get access to experts to help them write an environmental plan to improve sustainability and cut costs.
