Impact

What People Say About say about our grants

“The Low Carbon Fund grant was transformational for us!”

“The grant has enabled us to carry out much-needed improvement works which we otherwise may have had to postpone until later after the Covid-recovery period, and allowed us to plan other improvements which would have been much further down the line for us without funding.”

“We will be planning to include an area on our website related to sustainability projects that we have initiated. We hope that the two projects we completed will encourage our customers, present and future, to think positively about our company and its products.”

“This project has already proven to be a talking point and helps us promote the debate about how to improve old Cumbrian properties.”
