Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) has announced the launch of a £200,000 fund to build local resilience and protect vulnerable community members across central southern England.

The 2021 round of SSEN’s Resilient Communities Fund opened on Tuesday 6 April, with £200,000 available for non-profit making organisations, community groups and charities working to protect and enhance the resilience of those most vulnerable in the distribution operator’s south patch; home to some 3.1 million customers.

You still have time to apply if you haven’t already done so as the application deadline is Thursday 10 June. Funding decisions will be communicated by September 2021.
