What is the Low Carbon Skills Fund?

The Low Carbon Skills Fund (LCSF) is a government-funded initiative designed to support educational institutions in promoting sustainability practices. It provides grants to facilitate expert advice and develop skills relevant to a low-carbon future.

The primary aim of this fund is to empower schools to craft new heat decarbonisation plans and refine existing ones. This crucial step provides organisations with the opportunity to initiate the active implementation of decarbonisation measures. These actions include the formulation of project proposals that will assist in future funding applications for decarbonisation activities, such as the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS).

At Eddisons, we specialise in assisting schools and colleges with the application process, helping them unlock the potential of the Low Carbon Skills Fund. If you want to take advantage of our services, please call 0808 253 9295 or claim your free consultation.

“The Low Carbon Skills Fund provides a vital opportunity for schools to invest in energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and cut long-term costs. By accessing this funding, schools can develop sustainable solutions that benefit both the environment and future generations.”

Gary Benn, Director
