Directory compiled by: Kelly Muldoon, Elizabeth Meehan and Angela McLaughlin • Although the directory relates primarily to information sources rather than being a source of information, we hope the overall content will provide a Edited by: useful starting point for community groups. Sue Christie Published by: • Forging Links is organised into six sections: Northern Ireland Environment Link Five sections focus on key environmental topics: Built Heritage, Energy, Nature Conservation & Biodiversity, Organic Production and Waste One section focuses on general environmental information and community development: General • Each section is broken down into distinct sub categories. For ease of reference there is a Contents list at the beginning of each section. • Each sub category is briefly explained with information given on relevant organisations and resources which can help. • At the end of each section an organisations chart provides the user with a quick reference guide to all the organisations listed in the section indicating which sub categories they can provide help with and the level of help they can provide, ie. ‘who does what’. This is followed by contact details for all the organisations listed. • A pdf file of this document is also available at www.nienvironmentlink.org. c Northern Ireland Environment Link, June 2005 First edition, 2005 Please note: All information is correct, as far as we can establish, at the time of going Foreword to print. Although every care has been taken to ensure that all information is accurate Welcome to Forging Links - a directory to help community groups improve and up to date, Northern Ireland Environment Link (NIEL) apologises if any information their environment. Forging Links is a key outcome of the Rural Community is not correct. As with any directory, information may change over time. If you or your Environmental Capacity Building Project, a three-year project supported by organisation feels that some important information has been omitted, or if you wish to submit revised or new material for future reference, please contact us. We will attempt the Big Lottery Fund and managed by Northern Ireland Environment Link. to maintain up to date information but this will depend on available resources. The aim of the project was to encourage and facilitate community groups to take practical action on local environmental issues by ‘forging links’ between communities and voluntary environmental organisations. Through working closely with 19 rural community groups to build their capacity for carrying out local environmental projects the project explored the opportunities and difficulties facing groups intent on improving their local environment. By building on their experience and sharing information between communities and environmental organisations we developed some ideas on how best to facilitate co-operative working. A huge amount of information, knowledge and experience exists; what was lacking was an easy way to transfer that to those who need practical and specific help. We knew that NGOs wanted to help, and that communities needed help - how could we best help both? The result is this directory. Forging Links builds on the experience of the three-year project. The sections of the directory reflect the key community project themes and the contents of each section are based on common issues and problems frequently encountered by the participating community groups. Two aspects emerged repeatedly - funding and partnerships. Projects with both tend to be successful, but lacking either tends to lead to delay, frustration and ultimately perhaps even failure. By providing easily accessible information on relevant organisations and resources relating to the environmental sector we hope that Forging Links will help community groups interested in improving their environment find the advice they need to carry out practical projects. We hope that the publication will enhance the knowledge base of ‘who does what’, open the door to opportunities to build partnerships, facilitate the exchange of experience and develop a sense of ownership in the community. So whether you are looking for advice, publications, websites, training or Northern Ireland Environment Link funding, Forging Links Links is a great starting point. With Forging Links at 77 Botanic Avenue, Belfast BT7 1JL your fingertips, there’s no excuse for your community group not taking action to improve your local area.

HECA summary On the 26 July 2012 the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change issued new guidance to English Energy Conservation Authorities (ECAs) setting out their obligations pursuant to the Home Energy Conservation Act (HECA) 19951. The City of Wakefield Metropolitan District Council (WMDC) is an ECA. This document represents WMDC’s submitted initial Home Energy Conservation Act (HECA) report to the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change for March 2013. 2. Introduction The guidance sets out requirements for ECAs to report on the energy conservation measures it considers practicable, cost-effective and likely to result in significant improvement in the energy efficiency of residential accommodation in their areas. The significant improvements can result from measures which take advantage of financial assistance from central Government initiatives such as Green Deal, Energy Company Obligation (ECO) and the Renewable Heat Incentive and which have been developed using area based/street by street roll out involving local communities and partnerships.

  • Citywide Climate Change Strategy & Action Plan 2010
    Citywide Climate Change Strategy & Action Plan 2010 - 2020 Delivering Newcastle’s Sustainable Community Strategy Foreword We realise the need for a citywide climate change strategy, one that provides a comprehensive response to the threats and opportunities that we face. We also recognise the urgent need to secure a low carbon future and prepare for a changing climate. I’m proud to say the strategy goes much further than before. It raises our ambitions and sets out how we plan to deliver against national and European commitments. At the heart of the strategy is our Sustainable Energy Action Plan that sets out a scenario to reduce our carbon emissions, and makes us confident enough to commit to our Newcastle Climate Change Declaration, adopted by the full Council in March 2010. The strategy also contains plans to adapt to the impacts of a changing climate. These will help us to seize the opportunities that a low carbon future presents, and to protect our heritage and citizens into a sustainable future. We all have a part to play, from our day-to-day actions and efforts to live in a low carbon future, to the development, delivery and uptake of physical measures to minimise our impact on the environment. This presents significant economic opportunities for our City. However, we cannot do this without understanding and preparing to live with the inevitable risks of a changing climate. Although the strategy lays the foundations for these actions, achieving our goals will not be easy. In this time of austerity we need to be bold in our choices and strong in our convictions, so that we make the decisions necessary for the future.

List of further support Introduction So, you want to develop a community renewable energy project… Background The inspiration for the production of this brochure came largely from the process of developing the promotional brochure for the fourteen projects supported by the Northumberland Strategic Partnership Renewable Energy Capital Grant Scheme, which was made available in 2007-08 to support a number of demonstration schemes. In talking to the recipients of the grant, many of the people involved in developing projects heaved a big sigh and proclaimed that they were glad If only I had….. that they’d got there in the end but “if only I had ….” or “if I was to do it again I’d make sure…..”. Many of these experiences came from community groups or small businesses who had faced interacting with not only the renewable energy sector, but the whole process of contracting large works for the first time with little more than home renovation experience to go on. If I was to do it It became apparent that much of the real value of again I would…. supporting such projects was not only the resulting demonstration of the technology but also the opportunity to capture this learning process that individuals and groups have been through to reach a successful project.
