Rossendale Valley Energy is a community energy group founded in 2022, with the help of local community members and support from Valley Heritage. We are a community-led, not-for-profit group unique to the Rossendale Valley. We aim to help Rossendale live in warmer, healthier homes without extra cost and improve our fuel security in a fair and affordable way. 
  Lots of information and opportunities in the newsletter this week. Items around the National Lottery call for Grant Holder Support, member experiences of the Community Recovery Fund, and the piece in the Health Service Journal about reductions in funding all speak to the wider environment.
 Pendle Borough Council are now taking Expressions of Interest for their 2025 Holiday Activities and Food programme (HAF) 'Fun Vibes, Active Lives'.

 Happy New Year!
In 2024, we saw communities across the country stepping up to take meaningful action for people, climate and nature, uniting to build a greener, fairer future. While the start of a new year can often feel daunting, we know that by coming together, we can be a powerful catalyst for change. This year, we’ll be sharing more opportunities to take action together. To help get things started, I thought I would share some funding opportunities, new resources, and things you can do to take action for people, climate and nature this January. Rossendale Council produce a monthly bulletin with our health and community partners to keep you updated about community activity across Rossendale. This will include information on community group activities, events, health information, grants and community training opportunities. We hope you will find the bulletin useful. All published Community Bulletins are available on their website - Community Bulletins
