Still time to apply for latest round of Gawcott Community Grants

Gawcott Fields Community Solar has grants available to help local community-led organisations achieve their green goals and objectives. To be considered for the latest round of funding, you’ll need to submit your application by the end of July.

The Bee Green Grant Fund is a long-term commitment by Gawcott Solar to support local organisations in their efforts to enrich the community.

We are looking to fund community-led projects that focus on:

• Energy-efficiency and renewable energy generation
• Educational and community activities that highlight climate change, energy, conservation, and other environmental issues
• Positive community-led responses to environmental challenges

Eligible applicants include any group, club, committee, or charity dedicated to improving the lives of Gawcott residents or those within a 5km radius of our community solar farm. The deadline for applications is the 31st of July, and applications will be considered at a meeting of the board of local directors in August. Not many communities have their own solar farm, don’t miss this opportunity to secure funding for your community project!

Examples of projects we would like to fund:

• Implementing renewable energy and energy-efficient solutions for local community buildings
• Community-led nature conservation projects
• Community-led efforts to promote sustainable food practices
• Community and youth-led activity to help develop a vision and plans for a net zero future
• Nature-based and environmental educational activities
• EV mechanic training, energy efficiency and renewable energy apprentice training
