Are you curious about retrofitting your home? This is a great opportunity to learn how to make your home greener & more comfortable.


About this event

Retrofitting your home for the first time can be daunting. Or maybe you want to explore more innovative ways to improve your home and also reduce your carbon footprint. That's why we worked with Greener & Cleaner to answer all your vital questions. The event will took place online, and heard from expert guest speakers including Bromley Council representatives, Selce Energy Advisors, and homeowners who have gone through their own process of retrofit. For your chance to ask questions, we also prepared for a panel discussion at the end of the session including all guest speakers. All donations from this event will be split equally between Selce and Greener & Cleaner, more information below.



We'd like to say a special thanks to our guest speakers for making it all happen, and generously donating their time and expertise.

Where Your Donations Go

At South East London Community Energy (Selce), we're committed to supporting a green transition where no-one is left behind. That's why we run our fuel poverty alleviation program to support individuals that are having to choose between heating and eating. To accelerate the transition to a sustainable future in SE London, we formed Selce as a co-operative for the benefit of the community. Our founding objectives are:

  • developing community-owned renewable energy in SE London

  • reducing carbon emissions by providing advice on energy efficiency and installing energy-efficient products and services

  • developing practical measures to combat fuel poverty in our community through the provision of advice and related services

  • promoting public awareness of renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainability


We believe we're part of a quiet revolution - where the energy transition and social justice go hand in hand. All donations raised from the above button will go into continuing our work in the community, to make London greener and cleaner, and alleviate fuel poverty. All ticket donations from the eventbrite page will be split equally between Selce and Greener & Cleaner, towards their new hub at the Glades.
