Sustainable Support Grant programme
Chichester District Council recognises the challenges that businesses face adapting to climate change. The Economic Development team can offer support and assistance to help you to achieve a reduced carbon-based future.
The council is releasing a limited amount of funds for use by Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to help on their sustainability journey. The grant can be used for the purchase and installation of materials and equipment, as well as specialist expertise / support.
The online applications link will open on Monday 6 January 2025 at 9am. Applicants will have until Friday 31 January at midnight to submit their application. Applications must be submitted online and with all relevant information attached. Any applications received after the deadline date will not be considered.
