One room. One shared mission. Accessing large-scale private finance is now the critical enabler for retrofit at scale. Grants have helped start the journey – but if we want to go further, faster, and cheaper, we need more sustainable approaches.
Join us for our firstly quarterly event as Retrofit Society 2.0! With some fresh faces and a renewed focused on finance, this forum is designed to break siloes and make your ambitious projects happen. We’ll explore practical, scalable finance models, demystify risks, and share real-world solutions that unlock retrofit ambitions and deliver healthier, more sustainable homes.
Expect thought-provoking discussion, expert insights, and peer learning, all wrapped into a dynamic, one-day in-person session.
