Our Autumn Energy ‘Share & Learn’ is an opportunity for Greening Communities to share successes, discuss challenges and develop practical ideas for action around supporting your community to make homes in your community greener, cheaper and warmer.
The session will be led by Alison Zarecky, pillar expert from the Greening Campaign, a former climate change borough council officer, and former director of a community energy company. Alison also helped set up Sustainable Overton climate change group in 2019. She is also a trained retrofit advisor, a fully trained Energize South Downs ‘energy champion’, and an energy efficiency advisor.
