Crawley and Horsham community centres set to benefit as ‘Southern Water Community Energy Grants’ are awarded

The Community Energy Grant is delivered in partnership with our delivery partner CMDP (Costain, MWH Treatment) and is open to independently run community centres and spaces where activities such as local food banks, support groups and children’s programmes operate. Since the scheme was launched in October, we have been inundated with applications for support with energy bills from community centres and spaces including social pantries, homeless drop-in spaces and arts centres. These are home to a wide range of events, support groups, classes, winter warmer spaces and befriender clubs.

Alongside the grant, the hubs will receive support from Southern Water’s community, affordability and vulnerability teams, who deliver talks and advice on topics such as saving money on bills.
