Low Carbon Grants Available for Crosspool Businesses

Following a recent decision at Sheffield City Council’s Economic Development and Skills committee, businesses in Crosspool and across South Yorkshire can now apply for funding from a £3.4m grant to help reduce carbon emissions, be more sustainable and protect jobs.

Running until March 2025, the council fund will provide support to 260 small and medium-sized businesses across the region to help understand the opportunities available to reduce carbon emissions of small and medium-sized businesses.

Local Crosspool businesses could benefit from a free energy audit to identify potential energy-saving improvements, such as low-energy lighting systems or insulation. The low carbon grants are available to help invest in solutions to reduce energy consumption and costs, become more productive, resilient and environmentally friendly. As part of the package of support, specialists will provide comprehensive advice and support throughout the process.

With the rising cost of energy, we know how important it is for businesses to be able to access climate initiatives that reduce bills and carbon emissions at the same time, which is why this scheme has been designed.

Councillor Minesh Parekh, the lead spokesperson on the Economic Development and Skills committee, said: “We know that businesses across Sheffield want to be leaders on the climate crisis and to play their part to help reach net zero. “These Low Carbon Grants will help small businesses reduce their energy usage, cutting their bills and carbon emissions at the same time. With energy costs at record highs, it’s so important for climate initiatives to deliver cost savings and environmental benefits.”

Delivered by South Yorkshire’s local authorities, the project is partly funded by the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority’s Shared Prosperity Fund allocation, with Sheffield City Council acting as the Accountable Body for the Low Carbon Grant project, on behalf of Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham MBCs.

To find out more, including whether your business is eligible for support, please contact Business Sheffield at 0114 224 5000 or via lowcarbonproject@sheffield.gov.uk

Crosspool Christmas Trees 2022

Just a few of the many volunteers

Just a few of the guys and gals who turned out to brave a cold and dank Sunday morning to help adorn a festival of 22 Christmas trees with twinkling lights, before putting them up in the Crosspool shopping precinct to celebrate Christmas 22.

Through the hard work of our community volunteers and the generosity of Crosspool businesses, the Crosspool Forum has once again provided (Valley Side Garden Centre) Christmas trees, each decorated by groups of individuals, to bring cheer and joy to shoppers using the precinct.

Steve and Ian would like to thank the volunteers and local businesses, without whose help and support the Crosspool Forum simply couldn’t run this event

A special mention must go to the staff of Hudson’s café, who once again generously donated cups of tea and coffee for all the volunteers, and to Direct Travel for allowing us to use their concourse for preparing the Christmas trees.
