Funding

Hub membership enables applications to funding pots, including the Ideas Into Action Fund.

What's available?

Ideas Into Action Fund

Hub membership enables applications to the Ideas into Action Fund, a seed fund for small climate projects in the Western Isles. Only members can apply and a new round opens each Hub year (April-March).  Grants vary in size and the application process is simple.

Ideas Into Action is open to individuals, groups, and businesses of any size, who have a bright idea to tackle climate change.

The idea might help people to better understand climate impacts, share knowledge, identify potential climate solutions, trial a new climate-friendly practice or anything else related to climate change.

How to apply

It’s a simple application process – just send one sheet of A4 explaining who you are, what your idea is, and what the climate impact of your idea will be.

Please send all applications to info@climatehebrides.com.
