Our year in review...

 Hi Friend!


This year has been very different to what most of us had expected, but despite the unprecedented circumstances Carbon Co-op and our membership have come together to achieve many great things!


We have put together this round-up of just a few of Carbon Co-op's highlights from 2020 and the plans we have to make 2021 even bigger.


We hope you enjoy the Christmas break and we will see you in the New Year!

The year in numbers

Over three thousand participants across 61 online events.

 
 

+40%

 

Forty percent growth in our membership numbers over 2020, taking membership to over 270 members from 195 only a year ago.

Fifty active People Powered Retrofit projects. Our home retrofit service has exploded, with new staff and record numbers of projects.

 

Despite the disruption which everyone has experienced this year our team, working closely with members has been able to achieve a huge amount. Carbon Co-op has grown significantly

 to 19 members of staff despite the hurdles of remote working to successfully lead new projects to decarbonise our homes.


In 2021, we can already see that it is going to be a very busy year. Some of the upcoming highlights and events we can see on the horizon include a new Google Foundations funded citizen-led energy project, Oldham Energy Futures, underway in Oldham, a new stage in the PowerShaper project to reach more people than ever before and continued improvements for our members.
