About Energy Neighbours
Thanks to National Lottery players, Third Sector Leaders Kirklees has received more than £900,000 from The National Lottery Community Fund, the largest community funder in the UK, to empower local people to take individual and collective climate action and reduce fuel poverty in their community.
The Energy Neighbours project takes a community capacity-building approach, working with communities, residents and community organisations, listening to local priorities, experimenting and learning together, being transparent and accountable and sharing decision-making power. We are working for positive change together as Energy Neighbours.
TSL Kirklees has partnered with Kirklees Climate Commission for Energy Neighbours. The project started in February 2025.
For more details about the project see: Energy Neighbours on a page.
