Stay safe in very hot weather

Very hot weather is expected for the next few days. A red heat-health alert (the highest level) is in place for London on Wednesday and Thursday.  

Hot weather can be dangerous and can cause serious illness. Stay safe and look out for others who may be particularly vulnerable to the heat. Read advice on GOV.UK

Cool spaces

There are local cool spaces that are free and open to everyone. Visit them to rest, drink water and stay cool. Find a cool space near you

Access Islington hubs 

North and South Access Islington hubs are closed due to the hot weather. The Central Hub is open for urgent, in-person support, until 4pm today (Wednesday 24 June) but avoid travelling unless it is essential. 

You can still access our services online and you can call us on 020 7527 2000 if you need to speak to someone.

Apply for the Energising Small Business grant

Apply for grant money to improve your business or non-profit organisation’s energy efficiency, or to reduce its carbon emissions

 
Details
How many staff does your organisation have?

You will be asked to provide evidence of this before your application is approved.

Could you confirm that your turnover is less than £10m per annum?

You will be asked to provide evidence of this before your application is approved.

Which of the following best describes your premises?
Do you own or rent your premises?

Please include as much detail as possible, including quotes where already obtained.

Next steps

We will assess your application and then arrange a visit to your premises to discuss it in person and verify the potential works. We will then calculate the savings that your project will make in order to make a final decision on whether to award funding (for the £1,500 grant, you will only be awarded funding if the measures reduce energy use by 20% - e.g. new lighting must use at least 20% less energy than the existing lighting).

 

You must provide two quotes for the works. Funding will be awarded for the lower quote, up to a value of £1,500 (or up to £5000 for a heat pump).

If you are successful, the funds must be spent within six months of receiving the money and you must supply the council with copies of the invoice(s) for the work within this time period. Once you have notified the council that the works are complete, an officer will visit your premises to validate the fact that the works have taken place.

If you do not carry out the works or do not provide the council with copies of the invoice(s) within the six month time period, you must repay the money to the council. If you spend less than you were awarded, you must repay the difference.

By clicking 'Submit', you agree to the terms and conditions outlined in this application form.
