Summary

Grants are available for community and environmental projects which address carbon reduction and help progress towards “net zero”. All projects must be located in or be delivered to benefit communities within Keith and the wider Strathisla boundary.

Examples of projects that could, therefore, be considered for grants include:

• Energy efficiency audits of community buildings and facilities to identify and prioritise important capital improvement works
• Costs associated with the above findings. This might include thermal insulation, solar panels and battery storage, ground source heating, double / triple glazing improvements, more efficient heating, micro wind turbines etc…
• Educational activities that promote the net zero movement, i.e. costs of school trips to renewable facilities, school or community educational sessions / workshops / events
• Training for voluntary / community groups to help reduce their own carbon footprint
• Environmental and habitat species conservation which protects and / or enhances a public space (may include tree planting for example).
• Electrical vehicle charging point installations, in public locations
• Other projects that deliver energy efficiency upgrades such as lighting improvements (i.e. not necessarily in public / community buildings)
