Carbon Coop Retrofit Outreach Project

This drop-in event is the launch of Calderdale Retrofit Community Champions (CRCC), an exciting new project in Todmorden. CRCC is a community learning and sharing programme around how everyday people can retrofit their homes to make them cosier, reduce energy bills, and lower their carbon footprint.

Anyone that lives in Todmorden (and the surrounding area) can put themselves forward to become a Retrofit Community Champion to:

• Learn where heat loss happens and how you can improve efficiency in your home
• Learn more about the basics of retrofit and how this could be applied to your home
• Be part of a network of 12 champions sharing learning, discussions and ideas through regular meetings facilitated by Carbon Coop
• Potentially be one of the eight homes to receive a free Home Retrofit Plan, which includes a complete home assessment and tailored pathway for home energy improvements, worth £550 (champions not chosen will be able to see and learn from plans of homes similar to their own)

We’re looking for people to become champions who:

• Are considering retrofitting their home (this could be loft insulation, new windows, draft proofing etc.)
• Can commit to the project and host at least one meeting in their home or a community venue
• Would like to attend future community-based events focussed on Retrofit

If you’re interested in being part of the project, please complete our expression of interest survey and register your attendance at our drop-in event on Thursday, 8 Dec, 5:30 – 6:30 at Todmorden College. If you would like to learn more about the project first, you are welcome to come along to this event, or email us at retrofitcalderdale@carbon.coop.
