Retrofit West’s mission is to support homeowners across the West of England to accelerate the move to low-carbon housing and building retrofit. They firmly believe that retrofitting is not just a solution; it’s a critical weapon in the battle against climate change. The impact is wide-ranging, spanning across our community, from slashing carbon emissions to enhancing energy efficiency, from boosting local employment opportunities to elevating the health and overall well-being of our residents.
