February 2009:
Grant Award Success for SCR!

We have had an exciting start to the year!
SCR has been awarded nearly £50k from the Government's Area Based Grant scheme to help meet Sheffield's plans to become a low carbon city. The funds will help us deliver renewable energy schemes in Sheffield by giving local people the opportunity to make an ethical investment in these projects. To do this we will become a not for profit social enterprise, known as an Industrial and Provident Society, which will raise money for projects through share offerings. The grant funds will also allow us to pay for professional assistance on our plans for renewable energy projects, which will be ready for development in the near future.
