Organisation description: Greater Manchester Community Renewables Limited (GMCR) is a community benefit society, set up and run by volunteers to install community-owned renewable energy across Greater Manchester.
We raise funds to install solar panels on schools and community buildings, helping them save money, reduce their carbon footprint, and inspire children and the community to learn about energy and climate change.
So far, GMCR has installed solar panels on seven schools in Salford, one in Bury, and a community centre in Partington, funded through community shares.
The panels are held for the benefit of the community, and any surpluses go into a community fund to support local carbon reduction, energy efficiency and environmental education projects.
We also run an energy saving project to connect local people with home energy saving advice and support.
