The Low Carbon Skills Fund (LCSF) is a government grant programme administered by Salix Finance designed to support public sector organisations in undertaking energy audits, creating carbon reduction strategies and developing robust heat decarbonisation plans. This funding initiative is part of the broader strategy to assist the public sector to decarbonise by transitioning away from fossil-fuelled heating in support of net zero targets.

We can help your organisation prepare a successful application; determining your eligibility for the scheme, collating the data and evidence assessed against the scheme criteria, and making the necessary calculations. Our experienced in-house team are fully versed in the complexities of government funding schemes and can provide you with all the detail and information you need to submit a thorough and comprehensive application on the Salix portal. On award of funding, our experienced team will develop a comprehensive and holistic heat decarbonisation strategy reviewing all areas of energy reduction across your estate.

Maximise your chance of receiving funding with a comprehensive application aligned with the scheme criteria.
