The Community and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES) is now open again, offering funding to support community-led climate action.

Join this free online session from Community Energy Scotland’s Launchpad to learn how the Community Buildings Fund could help your group reduce energy costs and cut greenhouse gas emissions.

This session is ideal for community groups, charities and social enterprises who manage or use buildings and are interested in renewable energy or energy efficiency improvements.

You’ll hear:

• How the CARES Community Buildings Fund works

• What types of projects are eligible

• How to get started with an application

• Where to access further support

Whether you’re at an early ideas stage or already exploring a project, this is a great opportunity to understand what’s possible.
