Applications for Phase 3 can be submitted from Wednesday 15th June at 2pm for all eligible public sector organisations. Salix recommends applying as soon as the application window opens to maximise chances of success as the fund is distributed on a first come first serve basis.

Who can access the Fund?

The Salix Finance Scheme offer funding for Public Sector bodies including.;

• Central government departments and their arm’s length bodies
• Emergency services
• Institutions of further and higher education
• Local authorities
• Maintained schools within the state education system, including academies, Multi-Academy Trusts, and free schools
• Nursery schools maintained by a local authority
• NHS Trusts and Foundation Trusts

Groups such as Registered Charities, Private Sector Organisations and Social Housing are not eligible.

What is the Funding For?

The Low Carbon Skills Fund (LCSF) has been developed to help Public Organisations develop a robust Heat Decarbonisation Plan (HDP) that is aimed to help put them in a strong position to take the next steps in decarbonising. The plans will also help them to apply for any future grant funding to assist with the installation of capital decarbonisation measures.
