Subject: Learn from the best in our new community forum 💬

Hi Friend,

This month we have launched our new Carbon Co-op Community forum. Carbon Co-op members are now able to share their stories, knowledge and expertise at community.carbon.coop. Initially only Carbon Co-op members are able to post on the forum, but we hope to open it up to the wider retrofit and carbon emission reduction community in the near future.

Our People Powered Retrofit service is experiencing a massive surge in demand. With many active projects underway the team are helping many people to retrofit their homes. However this demand has led to a long waiting list for some of the services. Read the team's full update to find out how they are handling this high demand.

Continuing our online programmes we have a lot of exciting upcoming events, including a high quality trainings for retrofit practitioners. Make sure not to miss out on any upcoming events and register now.
