We gratefully acknowledge that securing and developing this incredible building for the community would not have been possible without grant funding and support from:
The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority’s (CPCA) Market Towns programme which was awarded to REMO by Social Enterprise East of England (SEEE), the CPCA’s delivery partner. The funding is specifically designed to support the growth of social entrepreneurship and boost the social economy ecosystem across market towns and rural areas.
The VCSE Energy Efficiency Scheme Capital Grant Scheme managed by Groundwork UK enabling community organisations like REMO to undertake capital investment in energy saving measures.
SIB The Social Investment Business who provided blended grant and loan finance to support the capital purchase of The REMO Eco Hub.
