As part of People Powered Retrofit’s first AGM, we’re bringing together members, special guests and our team to discuss the landscape of retrofit. We're opening this discussion up to the wider public and those interested in the landscape of retrofit to take part by joining us via an online live-stream.

With the need to scale up retrofit in the UK, the theme of the session is: ‘Who are the early adopters?’ We'll take a deep dive into the drivers and motivations of those who have taken the plunge and made a start on transforming their homes through deep retrofit projects. We’ll have a speaker session from Citizen’s Advice, and a panel discussion featuring Marianne Heaslip, People Powered Retrofit’s technical director and Ian Preston, Director of Household Energy Services at the Centre for Sustainable Energy.

This session will be streamed live from the Anthony Burgess Institute in Manchester. We’ll be monitoring the chat to ensure that you get to ask questions and there may be opportunities for break-out room networking at the end of the session.
