Haringey Community Carbon Fund

About the fund, eligibility and guidance

As part of our Climate Change Action Plan (pdf, 54 page(s), 2.33 MB), we're funding local community projects to reduce carbon emissions.

The Haringey Community Carbon Fund (HCCF):

supports the delivery of community-led decarbonisation projects that benefit Haringey residents
has been a success with more than 36 projects being funded in the first 4 years. In April 2025, the Haringey Cabinet approved the extension for another 4 years with increased funding to a total pot of £400,000
is funded by Section 106 planning contributions from new developments. Where developers prove they cannot meet the necessary standards on site, they must make a 'carbon offset' payment

Year 5 – 2025/2026

Applications for year 5 can be submitted from Monday 29 September 2025 until Friday 28 November 2025, 11.59pm.

Year 5 will have a total funding pot of £100,000. There are 3 sizes of funding:
