This workshop is one of a series of three, aimed at householders interested in learning more about the basics of retrofit, applying this to your home and sharing knowledge and learning with other local residents.

Hebden Royd Town Council, working with Carbon Co-op, aims to empower residents in Hebden Bridge to explore the possibilities of retrofitting their homes, creating cosier spaces, reducing energy bills, and improving the efficiency of their homes through knowledge sharing, workshop events, and technology.

Please note: These workshops are aimed at householders who want to learn more about retrofit. This is not a workshop for people working in the supply chain or seeking to promote a specific product or service – we will ask salespeople to leave the session.
