The Westmorland & Furness Green Enterprise Hub is a dynamic initiative dedicated to supporting local organisations on their journey towards decarbonisation and sustainability.
The hub is a one-stop shop for both commercial and not-for-profits, offering expert advice, training and event, grants, and a vibrant network of partners.
Cumbria Business Growth Hub is managing and administering a grant scheme of up to £10,000 to support the installation or implementation of carbon reduction practices, which include activities and/or the purchase of equipment and capital works that will support the decarbonisation of your organisation.
