Read more about how that is and why the Collective exists

The Collective is for Householders and Professionals:

Are you a householder sharing our interest in community-led building improvement? Are you looking to get assistance and connect with other groups and create change? You can be an individual or a community group or organisation of any size. Perhaps you’re interested in starting one in your community – at building, street or neighbourhood level, or among those with similar needs? Owner or tenant – please sign up to our mailing list so we can help you.

Are you a provider of professional or trade services for this work? Many skills are relevant to the essential need (and growing market) for domestic energy efficiency improvement, whether it be through advice, design, assessment, building, renovating, installing etc (for retrofit or planned maintenance). Perhaps you want to extend your skills into this area, or connect with others working in the field? Please sign up to our mailing list so we can help you.
