The Management Committee have taken steps to reduce our energy consumption, lowering our carbon emissions and reducing the costs of running the Centre.
Additional PV panels have been installed together with an air source heat pump, a battery to store the power produced from the PV panels and LED lighting throughout the Centre.
As a charity we do rely on financial support to help fund major capital expenditure. The total cost of these improvement was £28,722.00.
To help us invest in these energy saving measures we had support from:
Smart Energy Greater Lincolnshire – £10,914.00
West Lindsey District Council – £6,390.00
Lincolnshire Wolds Sustainable Development Fund – £5,000.00
The £9.2 million Smart Energy programme has been part funded by the European Regional Development fund. This is enabling small to medium businesses across the Greater Lincolnshire area invest in energy saving technology.
The Viking Centre Management Committee would sincerely like to thank these organisations for their support. Their funding has been greatly appreciated and used to ensure the future sustainability of the Viking Centre.

ABC Centreville Cycling ClubThe Viking Centre at Claxby made a great base for our cycling trip to explore Lincolnshire. It was spotless, warm, the facilities are ideal for a group and it is excellent value. There are great quiet lanes directly from the village up onto the wolds and south towards Horncastle and Lincoln. The coast and the Humber bridge are also easily included in cycling routes. For a change walking routes are nearby too, and there are good places to eat and drink in nearby Market Rasen. We had a great time and really recommend The Viking Centre!
