Energy company E.ON is launching a new fund to support worthwhile causes and is calling on members of the public to submit nominations.

Local community centres which need to improve their energy efficiency and schools or charities looking to add a spark to the area through energy education, can all apply for funding.

Applications for the E.ON Energy Action Fund can be submitted for a range of energy related improvements and activities, from appliances and insulation to educational events. Priority will be given to projects focused on reducing energy use and renewable energy.

Successful projects will receive anything from £50 up to £2,000, from E.ON to power their plans for a more efficient future.

Amy Cross at E.ON, said: "This is a great opportunity for local organisations to take charge of their energy usage and it is our way of showing our support for the people in our local communities. We hope the E.ON Energy Action Fund will help to improve energy efficiency, which can save money and reduce energy use across the community.

"We're keen to help as many people as possible across the area but funding is limited so applications should be made early."
