Cumbernauld YMCA have been awarded a grant from the
Scottish Government’s Climate Challenge Fund to develop and
implement a community led carbon reduction programme within
the Cumbernauld area, targeting key themes of energy
efficiency and food, to help Cumbernauld become a Low Carbon
Community.
There are three projects running as part of our ‘Y’
Climate Challenge project: Energy Efficiency: - We aim to reduce energy consumption within Cumbernauld households, lower energy bills, and
help save money
-
We will offer home energy visits and energy efficiency
workshops open to all
-
We will provide induction packs for young people and young
families living independently
Community Food Garden:
-
We aim to grow and cultivate fruit and vegetable within our
gardens
-
We will offer fresh produce to our young people, out of
school care, and members of the community
-
We aim to educate and help reduce food waste
Community-owned Building:
-
We aim to upgrade and install energy efficiency measures
throughout our YMCA premises
-
Our lighting will be updated to LEDs and sensors will be
installed
-
Loft and pipe insulation will be upgrade and installed
-
Water and heat efficiency measures will also be introduced
-
Upgrade to double glazing where required
Overall, we aim to become energy efficient, sustainable and
environmentally-friendly.

We will offer the following free opportunities for
people to get involved:
