Overview
Would you like to be a voluntary Non-Executive Director
To help to scale up a leading edge, community-led, not-for-profit organisation that tackles both fuel poverty and climate change?
Working with trusted local community organisations, we have developed over ten years the highly successful CHEESE Project CIC (Cold Homes Energy Efficiency Survey Experts). It uses a unique thermal survey system, enhanced by pressure reduction, to reveal energy loss from homes. We combat climate disruption and fuel poverty, using our own internal Heatview® survey protocol, software and camera equipment. We have surveyed over 1,200 homes to date, with over 100 5* reviews on Trustpilot, and have won 5 awards including Community Energy England’s Small Community Energy Organisation of the Year 2024. Our surveys are extremely effective in engaging householders directly with energy loss from their homes, vital for the UK’s Climate change goals, because they enable a highly targeted and at first low-cost response. We are currently partners with Retrofit West CIC, who subsidise our surveys with vouchers for 70% of the cost, and are 1 year into a 2 year Energy Redress grant-funded project.
