Enfield Energy Champions Partnership Fund

APPLICATION DEADLINE: 4 NOVEMBER 2026

We now have Enfield Energy Champions in more than 30 local community organisations.

Our trained energy champions are already at work, helping local people save money on their fuel bills, use energy more efficiently and reduce carbon emissions to protect the environment.

The host organisations will be eligible to apply for up to £5,000 from the Enfield Energy Champions partnership fund to develop and embed energy advice in their work. The fund opened for applications on 7 July. There will be a second workshop and Q&A event to help you with your application if you missed our July launch event.

Community groups with energy champions are strongly recommended to attend the workshop, as this will explain what you should be doing to have the best chance of making a successful application.

NOTES

  • To apply to the Energy Champions Partnership Fund, the applicant organisation must be already hosting an active EVA-accredited Enfield Energy Champion. 
  • Organisations that are not successful in securing funding in the first round of funding will be able to apply again in Round 2 in 2028.
