PROJECTS in Keighley could receive a cash boost from a business energy supplier.

Grants ranging from £10,000 to £100,000 are on offer from a new npower Business Solutions Foundation community fund.

Schemes considered for funding include energy efficiency and carbon reduction measures, waste reduction and recycling initiatives or projects that improve outdoor environments.

Not-for-profit organisations such as charities, community interest companies and educational institutions in Keighley – and anywhere within a 50-mile radius of the company's Leeds office – can apply.

Anthony Ainsworth, for npower Business Solutions, says: "We have always supported causes that mean something to us.

"Our foundation takes this a step further, allowing us to directly support projects that will make a real difference in our local communities.

"We welcome applications from any relevant organisation – from schools to sports groups, and community arts centres to charities – that have struggled to secure funding to turn their plans into reality.

"These plans could range from improving the sustainability of premises through energy efficiency, to creating a new space that encourages responsible business or supports wellbeing.

"We will consider a wide range of projects."
