Who can apply

  • Registered charities, community interest companies, charitable trusts, charitable companies, academic institutions and unregistered organisations
  • The entity must be located in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk or Suffolk, must have a bank account in the name of the entity applying, and must not support the advancement of religious or political objectives
  • The fund exists to support the communities that host NextEnergy's solar assets, so the geographic condition is the point of it rather than a preference

What it funds

  • Any social or environmental project that focuses on education and skills outside of the traditional curriculum, or that supports mental health and wellbeing
  • The programme's stated objectives are to support climate change mitigation and adaptation, promote a just transition, promote general skills development, improve local education and improve mental health and wellbeing
  • Projects must start within six months and must not run for longer than twelve months

What it will not fund

  • Entities supporting the advancement of religious objectives
  • Entities supporting the advancement of political objectives
  • Projects outside Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk

projects must start within six months and must not be longer than twelve months, so longer programmes will not fit
