Libraries Unlimited are looking to support Devon-based Businesses with fully-funded support to create a carbon reduction plan. Alongside this there is an opportunity to access a grant up to the value of £10,000 on a match funded basis, in order to implement proposed improvements.
The grant is available to those who complete a decarbonisation plan with ourselves. Time is running out for 2024 and we only have 13 spaces left, so please engage as soon as possible as there is a limited pot of funding.
FREE CONSULTANCY
Libraries Unlimited is providing specialist consultancy for businesses across the borough to help them develop a decarbonisation plan for their business. These plans identify a range of actions a business could take to reduce their carbon footprint and impact on the planet.
Hear Andrea Gamson and business owners Brad Walker and Marcia Vanstone talk about the work.
Who is the scheme for?
It might be that you already know what you need to do to decarbonise, but require financial support to implement it. Alternatively, perhaps you are at the start of the journey toward thinking about reducing your carbon emissions and would value one to one support, training, and guidance – all to better understand your carbon footprint and what opportunities there could be to reduce the emissions in your business.

We have managed to reduce the amount of chilling without affecting product quality, and we have managed to speed up our production cycle so that each batch is processed more time efficiently and requires less energy.” – Barnaby Harris, Director

“I wanted to find out how we can as a small businesses, reduce our carbon footprint.
It’s a lot more at the forefront these days than it has been, and I want to know how I can do my bit and get that knowledge and actually pass it on to my daughter as well, so that she is a lot more conscious about it.”
