LIVEWIRE Community Energy (LWCE), the new organisation that allows you to invest in Warrington’s future, will be holding a briefing session next Monday (August 24), to find out more about how to join the community energy revolution.
The event will take place at 6.30pm at Orford Jubilee Neighbourhood Hub.
Set up by LiveWire CIC, Warrington’s biggest leisure, library and lifestyle provider in July 2015, LWCE is a Community Benefit Society that will contribute to lowering our carbon footprint through the installation of solar panels on community buildings in Warrington.
The community share offer has now been extended and investors will receive an estimated pre-tax relief return of 4% on their investment annually.
Furthermore, they may also receive a one off 50% tax relief on their investment under the Government’s SEED Enterprise Investment Scheme, meaning someone who invests £1,000 could see a return of £500 if they’ve already paid this in tax. Any surplus made by the organisation will be reinvested to benefit the local community in Warrington.
LWCE is seeking to raise a total of £142,000 to fund the installation of solar panels at Grappenhall Community Centre, Heathside Mews, Latchford Community Hub and Poplars Farm. This will reduce the running costs of the buildings with any surplus energy being fed into the grid.
