Funding support for community and charity groups
AEG helps community organisations, charities, voluntary groups, faith-based organisations and not-for-profit bodies explore practical funding routes for energy-efficiency upgrades, low-carbon heating improvements, insulation, and wider property enhancements that support long-term sustainability.
Helping organisations reduce running costs and improve the spaces they manage
At AEG, our aim is to help organisations improve building comfort, reduce energy waste, explore suitable funding opportunities, and create warmer, more sustainable spaces for the communities they serve. Where relevant, we also guide organisations through broader funding and upgrade options aligned with Warm Homes Grant support, low-carbon heating opportunities, and wider grants and loans pathways.
Funding guidance
Understand what support may cover, what works may be suitable, and which route may align with your building or project.
Eligibility review
Review likely fit based on organisational status, building use, project scope and the practical needs of the property.
Next-step support
Move forward with more clarity on the improvements your organisation may be able to explore and the pathway that may suit you best.
Who may qualify for community and charity group funding?
Eligibility depends on the funding route, building type, project scope, and organisational status. While criteria can vary, AEG typically supports organisations that meet one or more relevant conditions.
What funding support may help cover
Depending on the route available, support may be aligned with improvements that enhance comfort, efficiency, and long-term building performance. This can include heating improvements, insulation, low-carbon technology, and wider energy-efficiency upgrades.
Insulation measures
Support may be relevant for roof, wall, floor or broader fabric improvements that reduce heat loss and improve comfort.
Heating upgrades
Funding routes may support modern heating improvements, controls, system upgrades, or more efficient property performance.
Low-carbon improvements
Some projects may align with lower-carbon energy measures that help organisations move toward more sustainable buildings.
AEG interest-free loan support
At AEG, we also help eligible applicants explore interest-free loan options designed to support energy-efficiency improvements, heating upgrades, insulation measures, and low-carbon property improvements. These pathways can help reduce the pressure of high upfront costs while making important upgrades more achievable.
Whether you are a homeowner, landlord, community organisation, or wider property stakeholder, we help you understand what the loan may cover, how likely you may be to qualify, and what the next steps could be.
Warm Homes Plan support for heating, insulation and energy-efficiency improvements
AEG helps eligible households explore support designed to improve thermal comfort, reduce heat loss, lower energy bills and make homes easier to heat. This can include insulation improvements, heating upgrades, and wider home energy measures that reduce fuel poverty.
If a property is hard to heat, poorly insulated or affected by rising energy costs, this route may be worth exploring as part of a broader support discussion.
