Welcome to the North Ayrshire Climate Fund PB Site

This year we have been chosen as a pilot region to develop climate-conscious projects through a PB process.

Local people and organisations will be invited to submit their ideas for climate-focused projects in their area, which will then be reviewed by a panel of sustainability and environmental professionals alongside local people. This will ensure that all projects progressing to a public vote are feasible - i.e. can be covered by the conditions and value of the fund, and will be able to be maintained at an affordable ongoing cost to the community or organisation proposing them.

A public vote will take place on Wednesday 30th April online on this website. The most popular three projects will be taken forward and developed with the support of the panel and investment from the fund. 

Apply now!

Applications are now open for proposals to the North Ayrshire Climate Fund!

In addition to the application guidance and fund criteria (available at the relevant tabs at the top of the page), please ensure that you have read the following conditions of the fund:

• Projects should address an environmental or sustainability issue facing a community, Third Sector or social enterprise-led initiative in North Ayrshire
• You must demonstrate how the investment will enable you to make a positive impact on sustainability concerns, such as reducing your carbon emissions or increasing local biodiversity
• All applications that meet the basic criteria of the fund and are deemed to be financially feasible will progress to a public vote, which will take place on Wednesday 30th April
• Following the public vote, the successful projects will receive start up support and, where required, additional specialist advice to put their ideas into action. This will be covered by the Climate Fund.
