Energy for Communities Kirklees
You hopefully saw the email last week about this project, which aims to help more Kirklees community buildings do energy works by providing technical and financial help.
TSL Kirklees plans to apply for funding to get this started. If you are thinking of applying for your project, please contact communitybuildingsnetwork@gmail.com to align our applications instead of simply competing. If you are interested in more information or joining Energy for Community Kirklees,
To support this application, the Community Buildings Network and Energy Neighbours, with support from Kirklees Council, will shortly be asking you for updated information about your community building and energy. Look out for this survey and be part of this exciting project.
