Net Zero Haringey - Community Carbon Fund 2022-25

As part of our Climate Change Action Plan (pdf, 54 page(s), 2.33 MB), we're funding local community projects to reduce carbon emissions.

The Haringey Community Carbon Fund (HCCF) supports the delivery of community-led decarbonisation projects that benefit Haringey residents.

A total pot of £300,000 is available as part of this 4-year community funding programme.

The HCCF is funded by Section 106 planning contributions from new developments. Where developers prove they cannot meet the necessary standards on site, they must make a ‘carbon offset’ payment. This payment helps fund off-site projects, such as the Haringey Community Carbon Fund.

Shape the next 4 years of the Haringey Community Carbon Fund

The Haringey Community Carbon fund has been a success with more than 26 projects being funded in the first 3 years. The Year 4 bidding period ended on 5 January 2025.

We are now working on the extension of the fund, to continue delivering the benefits of community-led carbon reduction projects. See the Haringey Community Carbon Fund Commonplace website to stay up to date with our future plans for the fund.
