Our Powering Communities to Net Zero fund helps communities in central southern England and the north of Scotland become more resilient in the face of a volatile climate, and supports their adoption of the Low-Carbon Technologies that will help decarbonise society. The deadline for submitting an application is Wednesday 25 June 2025.

The fund has a value of £3m and runs annually, concluding in Spring 2028.

Half the fund is made available to enable communities to apply for grants that will bolster community-led physical and environmental resilience measures.

The other half is for non-profit organisations to apply for grants to go towards the purchase of new Low-Carbon Technologies.
