Notice Information

Notice Title

SC21066 - C-Care Green Recovery Voucher Scheme

Notice Description

Kent County Council is leading on a new EU-funded project called C-Care (Covid Channel Area Response Exchange). The project aims to respond to some of the socio-economic challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. C-Care involves 4 English and 3 French partner organisations who are jointly implementing the project. C-Care will provide support to businesses and individuals at risk of exclusion in the France-Channel England area to aid economic recovery. As part of this project, the Environment, Planning & Enforcement Division within Kent County Council will run a 'Green Recovery' voucher pilot scheme to provide support to Kent businesses which have been impacted by the pandemic. The scheme is a non-statutory service and will enable Kent businesses to apply for a 'voucher' to implement a sustainable solution or project to help them with business resilience and green economic recovery. The voucher scheme is worth around PS150,000 (depending on the Euro exchange rate) and aims to support 100 Kent-based SMEs (small & medium sizes enterprises). The scheme will launch in early 2022 and will run for approximately of 1 year (subject to the number of applications received and the voucher budget being allocated) and will provide practical support to Kent-based businesses in several sectors which have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and which could benefit from adopting new green processes and solutions to help them recover and grow.
