3. STORENGY LOW CARBON COMMUNITY FUND

Storengy is offering £40,000 of funding to help improve the energy efficiency of community buildings in the parishes of Allostock, Byley, Lach Dennis, Lostock Gralam and Rudheath. It is hoped Storengy’s Community Fund will deliver energy efficiency improvements that will demonstrate to the local community the benefits of new technologies and will be a catalyst for them to make energy improvements in their own homes.
