Green grant
The newly refurbished Grace Darling museum in Bamburgh, Northumberland, has proved a very popular tourist attraction. But it’s not just the exhibits that are attracting plaudits. The Low Carbon Buildings Programme has awarded the museum a £10,000 grant for its ground source heat pump. The pump will save the RNLI Heritage Trust money on energy bills while also being kinder to the environment. The RNLI has just launched its own Environmental policy, committing the charity to reducing waste and pollution while never compromising lifesaving operations.
