Net Zero Haringey - Community Carbon Fund 2022-25

Year 4 – 2025/2026

Applications for the fourth round of Haringey Community Carbon Fund closed on 5 January 2025. 10 organisations were successful in getting funding for their decarbonisation projects. The total amount of funding awarded is £103,205.59.

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 was available in the first 4-year community funding programme. In April 2025, the Haringey Cabinet approved the extension of the HCCF for another 4 years with more funding – £400,000 will be available in grants for years 5 to 8.

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.

Four year extension for the Haringey Community Carbon Fund

The Haringey Community Carbon fund has been a success with more than 36 projects being funded in the first 4 years.

In April 2025, the Haringey Cabinet approved the extension of the fund and agreed to increase the annual pot of the fund to £100,000 per year to continue the support of community-led carbon reduction projects.

Following community feedback a few enhancements have been made, including:

  • funding: the annual pot has been increased to £100,000 per year
  • bid period: applications to the fund will open in September
  • project eligibility: expanded to climate resilience projects delivering carbon savings
  • 2 additional scoring criteria:
    • demonstrate how projects increase local climate resilience
    • demonstrate how Year 5 and 6 projects contribute to the Borough of Culture objectives
  • priority themes: stronger focus on high-impact carbon reduction projects
  • carbon literacy training for project teams

Further details will be provided when the year 5 bidding period opens in September 2025.
