Reminder: as an investor, you are a Selce member - granting you a say on our future plans with a vote at our AGM on 24 September.

Below is a quick, final reminder of the specific need, and the solution Selce offers for Charlton Park Academy - and how the project will work over the next 10 years if we reach our target:

Infographic explaining how Selce share offer works -

💡 Investors buy shares → Selce installs the heat pump.

💡 The school pays Selce a fixed annual fee (pay-as-you-go, not per kWh).

💡 Savings are greater than fee → the school saves from day one.

💡 Selce owns, insures and maintains the system for 10 years.

💡 After 10 years, ownership transfers to the school — a 20+ year asset they didn’t have to find £70k for.

Heat pumps deliver around 3 units of heat for every 1 unit of electricity.

Most of that electricity is generated on the school’s own roof — making this some of the cleanest heat available anywhere in Britain.

Invest in a Cleaner, Fairer Future

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

The environmental impact of your investment happens right here in South East London. And is felt for the next 20 years – the product lifetime of our heat pump.

Invest in Community

Thanks to our community share offer model, if we reach our target, Charlton Park Academy will get its renewable heating without upfront cost on their part.

In fact, over 20 years, the school is projected to save more than £150,000 to use where it is most needed – including more therapies, enrichment and learning support.

Surplus funds will also support Selce’s energy advice service, which supports households in fuel poverty across South East London.

You can invest from £250, with a projected return of 4% per year.
