Community Grants & Loans

As a not-for-profit community benefit society, Heart of England Community Energy uses surplus income to support local community organisations.
Once you apply, we will decide whether to fund the entire project or just part-fund it. If we turn down the grant application, we may be able to offer an economical loan instead.
