Lets Go Zero!
We are thrilled to share exciting progress on our journey to make Lauriston School greener, more sustainable, and financially resilient.
Back in 2022, we applied to the London Borough of Hackney’s Community Energy Fund to install solar panels at Lauriston. Since then, we have partnered with Stokey Energy and Hackney Light and Power to bring this vision to life—and we’re nearly there!
Here is what we’ve achieved so far:
- Planning permission granted
- Structural surveys approved for 116 solar panels
- £49,000 grant awarded by the GLA as part of the Green Schools pilot
- Installation scheduled for Summer 2025
These panels will generate 38% of our school’s annual electricity, saving us around £11,000 every year—money that can go directly back into enriching your children’s education. Even more importantly, we shall be cutting 7,900kg of CO₂ emissions annually, helping us do our part in the fight against climate change.
Lauriston has proudly been named one of five Let’s Go Zero Schools by the GLA, recognising our commitment to reaching Net Zero and creating a better future for our children.
But we need your help to cross the finish line.
We are just £16,000 away from making this project a reality. Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to our goal and will be gratefully received. If you are a UK taxpayer, you can boost your donation by 25% with Gift Aid.
Please consider sharing this with friends, family, and even your employer - many companies support charitable initiatives like ours.
Together, we can power Lauriston’s future with clean, green energy.
Thank you for your continued support.
