Providing funding for low carbon communities

Edinburgh communities are being encouraged to cut their carbon emissions with the help of the Scottish Government's Climate Challenge Fund.

Grants are available to help community organisations plan, learn, communicate and, most importantly, take action to reduce carbon emissions. Projects could involve using less energy, walking and cycling more or using more local food supplies.

A new element - the Junior Climate Challenge Fund (JCCF) - has been added. It is targeted at under-18 year olds. The JCCF aims to increase the proportion of the CCF which is supporting under 18's to become engaged and involved in a low carbon future.

The deadline of the last round of funding was 2 December 2011. Three further funding rounds will take place in May, July and September 2012. You can submit an Expression of Interest for these future funding rounds and you will receive a response within four weeks. Applications are invited from Scottish communities for activities that will take place between 1 October 2011 and 31 March 2015.

For more details of the fund and project ideas visit the Keep Scotland Beautiful website or call 01786 468 779.
