The postcode is checked for format only. Council areas do not establish scheme eligibility; not every North East postcode qualifies.

NEEF provides impartial information and signposting only, independently of founder private businesses. We are not a lender, broker or financial adviser and do not arrange, approve, guarantee or advise on loan suitability. All finance enquiries and applications go directly to Lendology. Lending is subject to eligibility, affordability and creditworthiness. Loans are typically secured by a title restriction; missed payments may affect your credit rating.

Our work

Our work is built around two pillars

The two first-phase practical delivery pillars support five community benefit themes: Energy Awareness, Warmer Homes, Lower Bills, Green Skills and Community Benefit.

Household Energy Understanding

Proposed commissioned local sessions would explain home energy in everyday words, help people work out where to go next, and include a follow-up call six weeks later. Warmer homes and lower bills are what we are aiming for.

Green Skills and Education

Proposed commissioned sessions in schools and colleges would explore the jobs that retrofit, renewables and energy efficiency are creating in the North East.

What we do

What North East Energy Futures CIC does

NEEF is early stage. Our live paid service is Funding & Application Support for businesses, charities, CICs and community organisations.

Energy Awareness Workshops, Community Engagement Delivery, Project Coordination, Impact Reporting and Green Careers Sessions are developed concepts, not yet launched or proven; the activities below describe proposed commissioned programmes, not guaranteed delivery.

That includes energy awareness, warmer homes, lower bills, retrofit, renewables, support routes, green skills and community benefit.

We work to improve community understanding, build trust, support safe signposting and help people see how the energy transition can create practical benefit across the North East.

Community Energy Barriers Report

Proposed sessions would capture anonymised resident feedback on confusing forms, trust and access to support. We aim to share these themes with commissioners and regional policymakers to inform clearer support routes. This download previews the planned report, not completed research or published findings.
