For those who haven’t heard of us, we are a Co-operative and Community Benefit Society, set up to help the community reduce its energy consumption, carbon emissions and save money.  We run a range of community-based schemes, including the provision of the solar panels and insulation work at the school, and also individual household projects based on interest-free or low cost loans.

We also have a Community Car Club and an eBike hire scheme in the village, and support teams who run a repair café, and a recycling scheme for items not collected by the local council.
