This event will showcase practical approaches to community-led retrofit, exploring how community (energy) organisations can help accelerate warmer homes, improve energy efficiency and reduce household bills in 2027.

The event is for community (energy) organisations interested in doing more to support domestic retrofit, and those who are looking to enable community groups to do so.

The session will create space to hear about current approaches that are impactful and deliverable in 2027, an update on current resources, support and funding opportunities, and an opportunity to ask questions

– A clearer understanding of what approaches are impactful and deliverable in 2027.
– A policy update about the Warm Homes Plan and what the opportunities are for communities to support this.
– Connect with people active in the community-led retrofit space
