Funding opportunities for the public sector
Welcome to our alternate funding opportunities page for the public sector.
This resource has been created to help organisations find information on funding available for housing retrofit and decarbonisation projects from public sector, local authority and charitable funding sources.
Please note that this guide does not include funding programmes delivered by our own teams and is provided for information purposes only. We cannot accept responsibility for the content or accuracy of information contained on external websites.
You can find information about the funds we deliver on our public sector funding schemes area.
Our aim is to support public sector organisations in identifying potential funding opportunities to help deliver retrofit and decarbonisation projects.

Net Zero Go Funding Directory
An additional key resource we would like to signpost is the Net Zero Go Funding Directory, managed by Energy Systems Catapult.
Net Zero Go supports local authorities through providing skills and tools to run projects which generate local energy and improve local sites. The funding directory shows a list of ongoing, open, and closed sources of funding. Please be aware that Salix does not manage this directory and those interested should go to the funder’s website itself to check whether schemes are still open for applicants.
We hope this page is helpful and don’t forget to subscribe to our email updates to get the latest news from Salix.
