Who we support
We support both individual homeowners and organisations working to grow retrofit locally.
Homeowners
We provide independent guidance to help you understand the right improvements, find trusted professionals and deliver your retrofit with confidence.
Organisations
We support community groups, local authorities and social enterprises to grow retrofit locally, combining tools like our Home Retrofit Planner with hands-on mentoring.
Why retrofit?
Retrofitting your home can lower energy use, improve comfort and help tackle climate change.
Reduce energy bills
Better insulation and efficient systems mean less wasted energy and more predictable household costs.
Cut carbon emissions
Homes are a major source of carbon emissions. Upgrading them is one of the most effective ways to reduce your impact.
Improve wellbeing
Warmer homes with good ventilation reduce damp, improve air quality and create more comfortable living spaces.
