CheltenhamZero is a wide-ranging partnership of local organisations – private sector, public sector, charities and community groups – working together to achieve net-zero carbon emissions in Cheltenham by 2030.

It’s FREE to join and members can access a whole ecosystem of support, online tools, networking, advice, grants and much more…

Vision 21 shaped and delivered the CheltenhamZero project for Cheltenham Borough Council starting from its inception in 2021. After the completion of a successful three year contract to grow and develop the partnership we have now handed this thriving project over to Cheltenham Borough Council.

Celebrating 3 years of Net Zero action in Cheltenham:

• • Together we have built an inspiring community of 178 local organisations who have made a commitment to reduce their emissions and support the transition to Net Zero in Cheltenham by 2030.
  • Our Net Zero Accelerator Programme made fully funded support available to local SMEs (small to medium sized businesses) working with 10 local sustainability experts t deliver tailored advice, workshops, webinars and training. Vision 21 also offered 1-2-1 advice to 20 eligible SMEs. 75% or which went on to access additional support and 55% successfully received grant funding for their projects.
  • Over the three year period we have delivered talks, workshops and co-hosted networking events attended by 600 people helping to build networks and conecting members with local solution providers to share skills and knowledge.
  • Change is something we create together. Take a look at our projects page to see some of the success stories of our members and grants awarded.
