Hi

Selce was built on a DIY ethic.

And as the energy crisis shows little sign of going away, plus subsidies for domestic retrofit are scarce, we want to support you to up-skill.

That’s why we are sharing all we know and love about DIY: practical ways we can make our homes more comfortable and energy efficient.

Hi

Just a month on from completing our last share offer, the lighting upgrade work at Marvels Lane is already almost complete!

Thanks to our investor members, the school is now saving £6,725 and more than 7,000kg in CO2 emissions per year - all with an incredibly quick turnaround. Rapid community energy impact in action!

Hi

In just 3 weeks of promotion, Selce’s 6th Share Offer has reached its target!

MASSIVE THANKS to everyone who invested, funding the upgrade of 285 lightbulbs at Marvels Lane Primary to energy efficient LEDs!

Hi

Our 6th share offer is live! For the second time we are focusing on wonderful LED lighting - in this case at Marvels Lane Primary in Lewisham.

LEDs save up to 70% on energy versus older bulbs, and in this case will save the school around £79,000 over 10 years - to be spent wherever it needs it most.

And as if that wasn’t enough, LED lighting also provides a healthier, flicker-free environment for pupils and teachers alike - not to mention a fair return for investors.

Hi

I hope you’re enjoying the longer days, and managing to stay warm and dry.

I kicked off 2026 with a message of trepidation, but also of hope, and love for the amazing community in South East London we are so lucky to be part of.

Hi

In case you haven’t already heard, our energy advice service is facing cutbacks due to a funding gap in January.

If you’re able to, please consider donating to Selce’s crowdfunder - the first in our 11 year history. Sharing it with friends and family would also be greatly appreciated.

In this month’s newsletter, we have details of an upcoming share offer, an opportunity for shared solar on flats in Greenwich, our Impact Report for 2024-5 and more.
