Whether you are at the starting blocks of a retrofit project, or have already crossed the finish line, we have a new project ‘Future Fit Homes’ that needs people like you to get involved.

Future Fit Homes aims to support you and your home with free advice, information and support, lowering your energy bills, keeping you warm and well and protecting your home for the future. 

Through an online group, regular meet ups and events including talks from experts, plus support and advice from Severn Wye Energy Agency; this project offers an exciting chance to understand what the barriers to action are, identify steps to overcome them and explore how to put power into the hands of communities when it comes to retrofitting our homes.

If you are keen to reduce your energy usage and bills, and also keen to contribute to community conversations, sharing knowledge from your own experiences throughout the journey to spread the word and get even more people to future fit their homes, then please do apply using the link to the form below.

50 homes (all spaces now claimed) will also have access to a welcome bag full of energy saving goodies and up to £100 to put towards the retrofit solution of their choice.

We are also looking for case studies of homes that have already been retrofitted, so we’d love to hear from folks willing to share their journey and advice.

Contact planetcheltenham@gmail.com if you are interested in participating as a case study. Any comments or queries please contact planetcheltenham@gmail.com
