The webinar discussed:

In 2016 Salix announced the Wales Funding Programme, which combines both the Salix Energy Efficiency Loans Scheme (SEELS) and the Invest to Save – Green Growth Finance Schemes into one application process.

Public sector organisations are invited to apply for Green Growth Wales interest-free repayable funding for projects delivering energy efficiency, renewable energy and resource efficiency in the 2016-17 financial year.

The closing date for the last round of applications is 1^st March 2017.

Salix are looking forward to attending the Healthcare Estates Management Conference; Building and Maintaining the Future of Our Health at Stamford Bridge in London on Thursday 19^th January.

The event will hold a number of seminars throughout the day, whilst speakers will discuss the challenges around achieving savings, efficiencies and modernisation through better management of the NHS estate.

Since 2007, The University of St Andrews has been reducing carbon emissions and saving energy across its estates, with the support of a Salix ring-fenced recycling fund.

Close of 2016/17 Round - One Month to Go

This is a reminder that applications for the 2016/17 round of funding will close on 10^th February 2017.

Salix will assess applications as they are received, so early submissions are encouraged to allow the maximum possible time for any follow up discussions on your projects.

Alexandra Hammond, Associate Director of Sustainability for Essentia and Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, and Scott Buckler from Sustainability Day (4 all of us), together with Salix, will be hosting a webinar ‘Funding Sustainable Success’ on Wednesday 18^th January 2017 at 12:15pm.

One of the areas Salix can provide funding for is museums in the public sector. In this sector, as well as the carbon and financial benefits of undertaking energy efficiency projects, key benefits are maintaining the internal environments and reducing the maintenance of the building.

It is confirmed that Annie Shepperd will receive an OBE for her significant contribution to energy efficiency and child protection over her career. The Queen's New Year Honours Lists 2017 recognises the contribution of a wide range of people across the UK and was announced on the 30^th December. Annie is the Chief Executive of Salix Finance and also sits on the board of the Lucy Faithful Foundation, dedicated to the eradication of child sexual abuse.

 The Scottish Government continues to lead the way with low carbon development; last year investing over £5.3 million of interest-free funding through Salix Finance to support energy efficient technologies with Scottish local authorities and public sector bodies. This funding is expected to save over £18 million in public sector energy bills over the lifetime of these projects.
