Community Benefit Fund
North Lincolnshire Community Energy (NLCE) is delighted to announce that we have committed £1,000 to our Community Benefit Fund (CBF) for 2027!
The fund is designed to support local individuals, groups, and organisations whose activities align with our core values of environmental stewardship, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and democratic co-operative principles.
We aim to help projects, and/or activities that:
- Improve education and awareness around sustainability and energy.
- Increase access to sustainable initiatives and community projects.
- Support energy efficiency improvements and retrofitting activities.
- Deliver positive environmental and social benefits across North Lincolnshire.
The fund is unrestricted and open to individuals, informal community groups, and formally constituted organisations based in, or delivering benefits to, the North Lincolnshire area.
If you have an idea that could make a positive difference in your community, we would love to hear from you. Please see our application and community benefit fund guidelines below for full details or contact us at grants@nlce.coop.
