They have invested in training opportunities with the Carbon Trust, taking place in September and October.

Workshop 2, Practical Guidance to Saving Energy in Leisure and Cultural Facilities

10th October, 15:00-16:30 (90 mins)

This session aims to provide you with practical guidance and support to implement energy-saving measures across both leisure and cultural facilities. You will get an understanding of the typical composition of energy usage in a range of buildings and the broad range of different interventions which might improve efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. We will provide average paybacks for a variety of different interventions with typical costs. We will provide information on the funding opportunities across England, Wales and Scotland with eligibility criteria; we will also explore potential finance options for those not eligible for grant funding. You will gain an understanding of how similar organisations have reduced their Scope 1 & 2 emissions with a variety of case studies and best practice resources across the leisure and cultural sectors.

If you are a small charity and cost is a barrier, please get in touch with Jennifer at Community Leisure UK and they can discuss access on a 1:1 basis.
