As part of our Climate Change Action Plan , 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.
Applications for year 4 can be submitted from 1 November 2024 until 5 January 2025 (11.59pm).
Year 4 will have a total funding pot of £112,000. There are 3 sizes of funding:
- large – up to £50,000
- medium – up to £15,000
- micro – up to £1,000
