STCE are keen to help community facilities such as village halls decarbonise where we can. We have already funded schemes at Ditton Priors, Little Wenlock & Rushbury Village Halls, plus the Orbit, Wellington, The Festival Drayton centre in Market Drayton and the URC in Shrewsbury. Further funding is available in the autumn of 2025, see https://stcenergy.org.uk/community-benefit-funding/
In addition our Secretary, Howard Betts, has been heavily involved in the pioneering work at Little Wenlock Village hall which is now carbon free, utilising heat pumps, solar, batteries and an induction hob. see https://www.littlewenlockvillagehall.uk/community/little-wenlock-village-hall-15549/eco-friendly/
