Making an impact in the community is at the heart of what we do
Since 2018, YCE has distributed £100,000 to support 47 local projects, with ongoing surpluses benefiting communities through grants, and an estimated £8M more expected in the future.




Here are some of the projects we've supported



Each year we will report back to our members on the impact the society has made over the previous twelve months.
The projects YCE has supported to date include:
Energy saving advice
YCE extends its support to households in fuel poverty by offering essential energy-saving advice. Through tailored guidance, we contribute to creating more energy-efficient living spaces, supporting families in need.
Energy saving measures
YCE has successfully implemented energy-saving measures such as insulation, LED lighting, and PV panels in public buildings and community halls. This commitment to sustainable infrastructure brings both cost savings and reduced carbon footprint to our community.
Environmental education
Collaborating with local schools, YCE has implemented engaging environmental education projects that empower young minds. Notably, a groundbreaking woodland education space has been established, catering specifically to children with learning difficulties.


Get involved
We launched a community share offer in 2023 to fund the transfer of three nearby operational solar farms into community ownership. The offer is now closed.
