DECC Community Funds Fund of £20m provides incentives to householders to • maximise delivery of GD plans and create future demand • create a strong link to deliver joint GD and ECO activity; • build a market for high impact, hard to treat measures, such as solid wall insulation; and • drive a street/area/sector based approach to GD/ECO.

But time is not on our side • DECC £20m Community Fund is on first come first served basis • DECC incentives to take up Green Deal are generous (up to £1,000) but won’t last • ECO funds are getting committed and may be “gone” soon • Organisations who don’t understand the requirements of the new legislation are moving in already, creating work for Trading Standards teams • Trusted local organisations and energy advice agencies need clarity so they can plan for the coming winter • Fuel Poverty is rising, the Welfare Reform time bomb is ticking, fuel costs are expected to rise this autumn and winters are getting colder… it is not a good time to be cold and in fuel poverty.
