Making the scout hut more environmentally friendly. And grants available?

[mckenzie]

We have old bar heaters on the walls in our scout hut. They aren't very efficient at distributing heat and I'm told they're not very cost efficient either.
DH has suggested I see if we might get a grant from somewhere to install some more environmentally friendly system but I confess tht I don't really know where to start looking. so, as always when I am at a loss, I've turned to Mumsnet
Any ideas gratefully received.
TIA

Whereabouts are you? What are you looking to do exactly and what is approximate cost and funding you need?

I'm a trustee of a charity and have done a lot of fundraising and might be able to point you in right direction but need a bit more info and these are things you'll need to know before you can approach funders

agree where are you - I might be able to point you somewhere if you are in the right area
Have a look at this link - but you would probably want to look at insulation as well as upgrading the heating system

also they have a help line 0300 123 1234.- might be worth a ring - don't work for them honest

if you have access through your PTA, look on the trustfunding website

We have a county association of voluntary services who give advice to charitable groups about grants for this sort of thing its probably worth a look to see if there's one in your area?

Thank you for all the replies. I shall investigate the suggestions you've given me but firstly I'll get some more information as to what we actually need at the hut to meet our requirements.
