Delivering WEAP in Walsall

The Walsall Energy Action Project (WEAP) is a three-year borough wide initiative which began in March 2024. The project is delivered in collaboration between Walsall Council and Community Hub partners based in Walsall. The project is funded by a £1.5m grant from the National Lottery Community Fund.
