How to Green Your Home

Feeling the cold recently? Well hopefully you've got your central heating turned up high, or perhaps you live in a super energy-efficient home and don't need it on full... In any case, you may be interested in making use of the government's Green Homes Grant scheme to install a heat pump. With expert guest speakers, we'll be covering what a heat pump is, and how it could benefit your home. We'll also have time for live questions and answers, where you can put your detailed or simple queries to our panel. All donations from this event will go towards Selce's fuel poverty alleviation work, across South East London which has been extended throughout the whole of 2020 and this winter, due to the Coronavirus pandemic. We'd like to say a special thanks to our guest speakers for making it all happen, and generously donating their time and expertise. Please note that places are limited, you must book online to attend.
