Go Green Grants of up to £8,000 are available to village halls, community buildings, and sports halls in West Norfolk. Applicantions must be from constituted groups directly responsible for the management of the community building. Grants can cover up to 75% of project costs to make energy efficiency improvements to the building.
We are proud to announce that we are supporting the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk with the Go Green Communities project, funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. The aim of the project is to help reduce the carbon emissions and environmental impact for as many of West Norfolk’s community buildings as possible by improving energy efficiencies and reducing subsequent energy needs for these community assets.
