Deadline: 11-Feb-22
The National Energy Action (NEA) is pleased to announce a call for proposals for the Smart Energy GB in Communities Grants Programme.
The Smart Energy GB in Communities programme is part of Smart Energy GB’s campaign to inform and inspire people about smart meters and the benefits they can bring.
The programme partners with organisations from the voluntary and public sectors. This means they are able to work with trusted, expert organisations across the country to help ensure people understand the benefits of smart meters and want to get one.
Objectives
The objectives of the 2022 fund are:
- Target groups: people who are over 65 and people on a low income
- to ensure people in the target group understand how smart meters can benefit them
- to increase the likelihood that people in the target group will seek or accept a smart meter
- Target group: people who are carers
- to ensure people in the target group understand how smart meters can benefit the person they care for
- to increase the likelihood that people in the target group would recommend a smart meter to the person that they care for
Funding Information
- Grants for organisations supporting people who are over 65. The total amount requested should be between £15,000 and £25,000
- Grants for organisations supporting people on a low income. The total amount requested should be between £7,500 and £10,000
- Grants for organisations supporting people who are carers. The total amount requested should be £5,000
Eligibility Criteria
- NEA seeking applications from regionally based organisations (preferably with local networks) that can deliver support to people in one of the target groups outlined above. You will have a trusted voice in your community and will provide support to people in target group(s).
