We've done it!
Since the launch of Selce’s Share Offer 3 at the beginning of November we’ve raised over £200,000 to fund solar panels on four new sites. Huge thanks to all our members for making new investments and spreading the word to friends and family.
Share Offer 3 is now closed...
Thanks to your support, we've raised enough community share capital to install solar arrays on all four new sites. This is a fantastic show of collective strength at a time of great uncertainty. It's now full steam ahead to complete the projects and we'll be sending you an update very soon. If you have come to this page hoping to be able to invest, please accept our apologies. There is a possibility that we'll be launching another share offer in the near future. We're still working on the technical proposal for this project but if you'd like to be added to the investor list please send a message to sunshine@selce.org.uk Finally, we’d like to thank you for your ongoing support of all Selce's projects and activities and we wish you a truly solar-tastic 2020.
We've now raised the full amount needed for our brand new solar sites. These are: St Luke's Church in Downham, Thamesmere Leisure Centre in Thamesmead, Coldharbour Leisure Centre in Eltham and the solar-powered Aluna Moon Clock (a community artwork hosted by the Intercontinental Hotel in Greenwich).
These solar arrays will power the buildings and art installation with clean, green, energy that's equal to, or below, their current elelctricity charges. Any surplus income we make is used to pay back our investors and support our social impact initiatives. These include our Energy Cafes, Future Fit Homes initiative, the Solar Roller portable information and power hub and other fuel poverty alleviation projects across South East London.
Selce recently celebrated five years of strengthen local communities and we've picked up three national awards along the way. You can find out more about our previous solar sites here.
