Track your home's carbon impact 📉

Hi Friend,

Our second consecutive virtual annual general meeting went off without a hitch this month. We hope that our next AGM will give us an opportunity to come together in person!

The AGM saw the launch of several exciting resources including our new home impact tracking tool to help demonstrate the work of our members and supporters to radically reduce home carbon emissions. We also released the new Oldham Energy Futures video, highlighting our work on the local level with Local Energy Groups.

If you are a builder looking for a way to participate in the ongoing retrofit boom with an unprecedented demand for retrofit works, then there is still time to book your place on our Eco-Renovation for Builders Course - so register now.
