LoCASE promotion to businesses
The Low Carbon Across the South and East (LoCASE) programme was supported by the European Regional Development Fund to provide a free business support programme to SMEs in the South and East. The aim was to help businesses to become more competitive and profitable while protecting the environment and encouraging low carbon solutions. Grants of up to £10,000 were provided (although match funding is required) as well as training workshops and fully funded events.
LoCASE3 launched in November 2022 and closed in June 2023. 78 businesses in Runnymede enquired about the funding, with 15 being awarded grants, of which 13 were claimed totalling £112,036. It has been estimated that 124 tonnes CO2e will be saved across these businesses per annum.
