Meet Retro Duck!

On Saturday 11th May 2024, Sustainable Calne launched its new Retrofit project by launching Retro Duck at the annual Duck Race, organised by Calne Lions.

We are very excited to have secured funding from the Centre for Sustainable Energy for a new project on retrofitting our homes to make them more energy efficient – good for the planet and good for our pockets. Two of our volunteers have completed accredited training and will be looking for ways to share their knowledge to householders about the starting points for any work you may think would help you.

Sara and Denis will be at our AGM on Wednesday 22nd May 2024 to explain about:

  • what Retrofitting is
  • some key things to think about when starting to make your home more energy efficient
  • some pointers for where grants might be available
