ALIenergy boosted by Royal Bank of Scotland Foundation funding

ALIenergy have secured grant funding totalling £25,000 from Bank of Scotland Foundation’s funding programme, Reach, which is being used towards the Affordable Warmth Advisory services.

Rachel McNicol, COO of ALIenergy:" We are overjoyed to receive this grant from Bank of Scotland Foundation’s Reach Programme to continue providing Affordable Warmth Advice across North West Scotland. ALIenergy’s Affordable Warmth Advisory team are working with some of the most disadvantaged people in our communities to help them stay warm this winter. With this funding the team can help more households in fuel poverty who face the difficult decision between freezing or starving".

Bank of Scotland Foundation is an independent charity working with charities across Scotland supporting people and their local communities. The Foundation received almost £4m in February 2022 from Lloyds Banking Group as part of the Group's commitment to Helping Scotland Prosper. The Foundation will donate these funds to charities across Scotland through Grants Programmes and a Matched Giving Programme for Lloyds Banking Group employees in Scotland.

Donald MacKechnie, Chair of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees and Insurance & Wealth Transformation and Strategy Director, Lloyds Banking Group said, “We are delighted to award ALIenergy with £25,000 of funding. The cost of living crisis means many charities are struggling with increasing expenditure, at a time when the demand for their services is as great as ever. Our grant awards will help charities through the challenging months ahead.”

Since November 2010, Bank of Scotland Foundation has provided almost £28m to nearly 2,400 charities making positive change across Scotland, enabling over 1,000,000 people to benefit from a variety of much needed local services and personal support.
