(2,700), 1,200 (11%) mainly delivered business and employment support, guidance and training services, an increase of 300 from the 2019 survey estimate. This is thought to be a reflection of provision by community businesses of services formerly provided by, or aligned with, the public sector (Power to Change 2021b). An estimated 700 community businesses mostly provided health, social care and wellbeing services (an increase of 300 from 2019), 600 offering sports and leisure services and 400 libraries.

This shows the importance of community owned assets/resources in community climate resilience, which could present opportunities for community businesses. Consideration needs to be given in the Green Fund Scoping Study as to whether support for community businesses to take action on climate change through a Green Fund should address poverty/disadvantage/ vulnerability to reduce the impacts of climate change on these groups (adaptation & potential mitigation), or whether the focus should be on climate mitigation as the priority. Other considerations are whether funding should be targeted to areas experiencing higher levels of deprivation. Research shows that Power to Change already provides most funding to areas experiencing the highest levels of deprivation that is Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) rankings 1-3 (Power to Change 2021e).

Appendix 1 Literature review.pdf - page 10/24 - that there is a strong desire to be able…

that there is a strong desire to be able to continue to work remotely in a post pandemic world and that people expect to continue to spend more in their local community, as well as having developed a much greater appreciation of the quality of their local environment (Demos and Legal and General 2021). Recommendations that could be opportunities for community businesses are included in the Business Opportunities section below.

� Going beyond one-to-one grantee relationships. The chances of effecting systems change are greatly increased by finding ways to pool resources and thinking bigger � working in partnership with other funders and organisations. This supports the approach that Power to Change is taking in this scoping study by seeking views and potential cofunding/partnership opportunities.

Appendix 1 Literature review.pdf - page 12/24 - promote the ability for people to meet m…

promote the ability for people to meet most of their daily needs within a 20 or 15 minute walk from home, with access to safe cycling and local transport options. The term 15 minute neighbourhood is used here as has been referred to in recent literature as playing a role in reducing carbon emissions (Hernandez, 2021; However this can be used interchangeably with 20 minute neighbourhoods or 15 minute cities (C40 cities and Arup, 2021).

Appendix 1 Literature review.pdf - page 13/24 - buildings and management leases of high …

buildings and management leases of high street assets such as markets, public spaces, libraries and community hubs, directly to trusted community businesses. They could also look at providing secure leases or leases which scale up giving community businesses space and time to become financial sustainable. (Power to Change 2020).

who engaged around 138,000 people. Approximately two thirds of community energy organisations in England are working on energy efficiency, heat and low carbon transport projects (Community Energy England 2021).

projects energy may on their own not be significant. However the co-benefits such as recirculation of money within a local economy, local job creation and development of skills, knowledge and capacity could make a significant contribution to developing community resilience.

with learning disabilities and they also recycle old bikes, offering them back into the community at a reasonable price. (Route 1 Coffee House (no date))

As mentioned earlier, Power to Change already provides a significant level of grant funding for energy efficiency in community buildings (Power to Change 2021e). If this were to become a priority area for Green Fund support, it may be useful in the fund design stage to interrogate the data for these funded projects to identify any funding gaps or obstacles that community businesses face in making energy efficiency improvements. Many of these barriers are also likely to apply to community businesses (e.g. limited knowledge or capacity on energy efficiency; lack of time and resource to engage with energy efficiency; lack of trust in potential providers). In designing the Green Fund, Power to Change will need to consider how to overcome the barriers experienced by community businesses in relation to energy efficiency and wider climate action.
