Aims/Priorities: The Refugee Welcome Grant Programme is designed to strengthen and expand the provision of English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) within Ashton, and across Tameside, with a specific focus on supporting refugees and asylum seekers.

Aims/priorities: The fund, provided by Ofgem Energy Redress Scheme and piloted under the scheme’s Carbon Emissions Reductions priority, aims to build the capacity of the community energy sector and deliver impactful renewable energy projects. It seeks to demonstrate how a just transition to net zero can benefit everyone.

The funding is intended to enable greater community ownership and social benefit from the historic growth in renewable energy over the next few years as the UK transitions to net zero.

Aims/priorities: The Carbon Emissions Reduction Fund (CERF) supports initiatives principally aimed at reducing the climate change impact associated with energy use, which relate to Ofgem’s regulated areas of energy generation, distribution, supply and use.

The funding is for projects that demonstrate measurable and lasting reductions in the carbon intensity of energy use and accelerate the transition to net zero. Projects must also have a realistic prospect of delivering broadly replicable benefits to existing and future energy consumers.
