Quick Wins Grant (Net Zero Carbon 2030)

Apply for new grants to help reduce energy consumption and cut your carbon footprint!

The Church of England Environment Programme has generously provided the Diocese of Lincoln with over £65k to distribute to our churches.

The fund we could give to your church would support small and quick actions that reduce energy and cut your carbon footprint.

We’re giving away up to £3000 (and in exceptional circumstances up to £10,000).
