What is Retrofit West?

The Retrofit West CIC programme has received funding from the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority through the Green Recovery Fund.

With the newly acquired grant, Retrofit West CIC is set to organise an array of over 50 networking events and training sessions throughout the year, hosted by their partners at The Green Register, Future Leap, Bath College, and YTKO. These sessions are carefully crafted to support and upskill tradespeople and other professionals eager to delve into the transformative realm of retrofit and equip them with the knowledge and expertise needed to excel in sustainable building practices.

One of the key highlights of Retrofit West’s expansion is the establishment of a Retrofit Hub. This digital platform will serve as a collaborative space where professionals can pose their retrofit-related questions, discover exciting projects, and advertise their services to foster collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and networking within the retrofit community.

The Retrofit Hub can be accessed here.
