Retrofit Champions Training

Are you interested in becoming a Retrofit Champion?

The Council’s Retrofit Engagement Officer is running two 1-hour training sessions for homeowners who are interested in retrofit and would like to help others in their community.

The training sessions are taking place on Tuesday 25 March 2025 and Tuesday 1 April 2025 (7pm – 8pm).
