Twilight Sessions on Eco School

Each term Arun District Council and West Sussex County Council hold an Eco Schools Twilight Session.

These sessions are open to all schools in the District whether they are currently signed up to the Eco Schools programme or not. They are a great opportunity to learn about specific aspects of the programme and how these translate into action for your school, meet with other teaching professionals to see what they are doing, meet with professionals from other organisations who can help your school and find out about opportunities for funding projects in your school.

To find out more about ecoschools and the twilight sessions please contact Jo Brooks on 01903 737690 or email energy.efficiency@arun.gov.uk

Renewable Energy Grants

BERR's Low Carbon Buildings Programme was set up to provide grants to help towards the purchase and installation of microgeneration technologies for householders, community organisations, schools, the public sector and businesses.

Unfortunately on Monday 24th May 2010 the Government announced that as part of its commitment to delivering £6bn of departmental spending cuts in 2010/11 with regret that they announced that £3 million of savings would be taken from the Low Carbon Building Programme (LCBP) resulting in its immediate closure to new applications.
