The Big Retrofit Debate: Making it happen 

Find out more about the ‘big picture’ issues around retrofit and the campaigns for improving Government policy as well as how grassroots campaigns are making things happen already. We also look at how the Government’s Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund is working in practice, drawing on local examples. There will be time for networking and smaller group discussions during the online event.
