Scaling up
We were delighted to recently secure a £10,000 grant from the Bristol 2015 Small Grants Fund. This is to help us sign up additional community roofs for our solar panel installations. We’re using the money to promote our scheme and to train local volunteers to help with our roof recruitment process. And we’re developing a special solar package for schools with our partners Demand Energy Equality, Bristol Friends of the Earth, and Cycletricity.
We are now beginning a period of regular training sessions for volunteers to learn about our solar scheme and other projects. These will run from 7-9pm on the 1st Monday and 3rd Wednesday of each month. Our first session is on Wed 20th May at our Happy City office in Stokes Croft. If you’d like to take part in this please email volunteer@bristolenergy.coop or phone 07503 372 689.
