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.

As part of our Summer of DIY, we've got a number of free and low-cost exciting events coming up in June and July and we would love to see you there.

From a new Festival of Retrofit, to sessions on repointing, solar and greening your roof, loft and walls - find out more and book yourself in today.

We hope to see you there!

“I’m proud to be part of the work they do.”

Our 7th share offer, covering renewable heating for the 24/7 hydrotherapy pool at Charlton Park Academy, will go live soon - register your interest to be the first to hear when it launches.

If successful, our heat pump will reduce emissions by the equivalent of 33 households’ electricity usage per year. Over 20 years of operation, the 58kW unit will save 313.4 tonnes in CO2e emissions.

“Selce offers an amazing opportunity to truly combine sustainable energy and climate justice with supporting our local community. I’m proud to be part of the work they do.”

- Natasha, Selce Investor
