The Government has announced that the Green Homes Grant has been extended by a further 12 months.

The scheme, which almshouse charities are eligible to apply for, was previously due to expire in March 2021. However, as part of a number of green initiatives announced by the Government, members will now have more time to apply for works to be completed, with work needing to be completed by March 2022.

This is welcome news following confirmation that almshouse charities can use the grant to make their dwellings more energy efficient. 

We would love to hear from members who have applied for the grant on their experience of the process as well as tracking their improvements. Please email jackbaldan@almshouses.org.

More information on the grant can be found here.
