Since launching in April this year, Foundation has approved just over £250,000 of funding for new carbon reduction projects across the region.

In addition to the ten pilot projects supported before launch, Foundation is now helping fund nine new exciting projects. These include supporting a credit union in offering interest-free energy efficiency loans to low-income households, a cycle to work initiative, a community tree planting scheme plus many more. All of these projects will actively help the Northwest to reduce its carbon emissions and benefit the communities in which they are based.

Darren O’Toole, Foundation’s Projects Manager said: “We are really excited by the projects we have been able to support so far. The more donations Foundation receives the more we’ll be able to make happen in the future.”

Further details of all our new projects will be added to our projects page over the coming weeks so please keep your eye out for updates.
