Are you part of a community organisation, charity, climate group or local network interested in taking practical action on energy?

This introductory online event hosted by the Energy Learning Network will help you understand what community energy is, explore approaches that could be adapted to your organisation, and learn about the support available across the UK.

Community energy can include renewable energy projects, energy advice, home retrofit, green skills training, electric vehicle initiatives and other community-led solutions. You’ll hear real-world examples from organisations already doing this work and get a clearer picture of how to get started.

The session will introduce useful support programmes, resources, networks and funding opportunities. There will also be an optional ideas clinic where you can discuss an early-stage idea, ask questions and identify practical next steps.

Contributors include Nadia Smith, South East London Community Energy, Burnham and Weston Community Energy, Loco Homes, and Gurdwara Sahib Woolwich.
