Community Action for Energy (CAfE)

CAfE is a programme from the Energy Saving Trust that is designed to promote and facilitate local community-based energy projects. One of its resources is ‘The community support panel’, which offers free expertise and advice to CAfE members.

Panel members (that include HHP) have a wide range of experience, from technical know-how to funding skills, to help you:
• develop and improve your community energy project
• build partnerships
• find funding for your project.

After a free consultation, the experts provide a review of your proposed project and a short report, including clear recommendations for action. This may consist of advice over the phone and/or an on-site visit anywhere in the UK. The total time allocated for each organisation applying for support is up to 1.5 days.

To find out more, contact the CAfE team on cafe@est.org.uk or call the helpline on 08701 261 444.

If you would like HHP to provide the consultation, please make sure that you ask for Hockerton Housing Project.
