GRANTS FOR SUSTAINABILITY
How can I get a £40,000 grant from the Rural Community Energy Fund?”
The RCEF is a grant fund designed to help communities to develop their own local, clean and renewable sources of energy generation which benefit their locality and the wider environment.
- Phase I of the scheme offers up to £40,000 for a feasibility study.
- Phase II of the scheme offers up to £100,000 to cover further project development costs.
To help Community Groups, Parish Councils and registered social landlords make strong and eligible applications for funding, the Regional Energy Hub is holding a workshop in conjunction with Wiltshire Council and Swindon and Wiltshire Local Economic Partnership.
The event will be on Monday 25 November 2019 from 5.30pm to 7.30pm at the Council Chamber in Wiltshire Council’s Monkton Park offices, Chippenham.
Have you considered trading on the market or promoting your local business or are you an entrepreneur, who wishes to start a business? To ensure a vibrant and bustling market with a great retail offering for locals and visitors to Royal Wootton Bassett, we are continually looking for new traders.
