Bath Neighbourhood CIL funding applications consultation (Round 19)

 Bath and North East Somerset council are asking you to help us decide which of these shortlisted projects should receive funding from the Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) for Bath. The CIL is a charge which is payable for some new building developments, to be spent on projects which benefit the community.

Public consultation on which projects you think most deserve funding is a required part of the decision-making process when allocating CIL money.

Given the significant interest generated in this funding round, the requests for funding exceed the current availability. When the recommendations are submitted, it is likely that some projects will be placed on a waiting list for future funding opportunities.

Please follow this link to see the applications noting there are specific ones for Twerton and Whiteway that you might want to support.

Community energy grants

The BWCE Fund is open for grant applications until 1pm on Thursday 29 October.

The BWCE Fund is an independent charity distributing grants to local community projects that reduce carbon emissions or tackle fuel poverty, funded by surplus income from BWCE’s renewable energy projects, and administered by the Quartet Community Foundation.

The Fund is now open for grant applications of up to £5,000 until 1pm on Thursday 29 October. Grants are available for community groups and local environmental organisations in Bath and surrounding areas. 

Carbon reduction does not just relate to energy projects; it might also include local food, sustainable transport or waste reduction or indeed any activity that reduces carbon emissions. Typically, the Fund receives fewer applications around addressing fuel poverty or affordable warmth - so applications in this area are particularly welcomed.

The Fund has supported over a hundred community projects since 2015; details of previously funded projects can be found on the BWCE website: www.bwce.coop/community-benefit     

“…We are aware that fuel poverty is not just a winter issue as our climate changes and would like to see projects that provide, for example, more warm and cool spaces for vulnerable people in the area.  We would also welcome projects that help to shift people from oil heating in rural areas to low carbon alternatives.”    Jane Wildblood, Chair of Trustees for BWCE Fund
