Thanks to National Lottery players, Student Energy Action for Life (SEAL) has received £1,250,503.17 over five years from The National Lottery Community Fund, the largest community funder in the UK. We're proud to announce that we have been awarded funding for Aston Student Homes to be a part of this groundbreaking national project. Led by SOS-UK in collaboration with National Energy Action (NEA), this ambitious five-year initiative aims to transform the student housing landscape by improving energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, and raising living standards for thousands of students across the UK.
This funding comes from the Climate Action Fund, a £100 million commitment over 10 years from The National Lottery Community Fund to support communities across the UK to take action on climate change and involve more people in climate action. This forms part of one of the funder’s four key missions in its 2030 strategy, ‘It starts with community’ - supporting communities to be environmentally sustainable.
What does SEAL mean for you?
SEAL is all about empowering students and landlords with the tools, knowledge, and support needed to drive real, long-lasting change.
Aston Students’ Union is committed to being sustainable in everything we do, from clubs and societies to the construction of the new Students’ Union building.

We have lots of work underway so watch this space for opportunities to get involved.
