It was a fascinating tour. Interesting to hear about the importance of training and to see the variety of systems available for trainees to help them gain experience

A group of our volunteers have just had a tour of the excellent new Heating and Ventilating Academy Workshop at Stratford-upon-Avon College. It hosts professional training for people from local companies wanting to enter the market for #heatpump installation, commissioning and maintenance.

Don't forget that every week we have a "Community Kitchen" 5-7pm on Fridays at the Ken Kennett Centre on Justin's Avenue.

Pay as you feel for a tasty, healthy meal prepared by local chefs from #food donated by shops that would otherwise be wasted. You can even bring a container to take home!

Decarbonising the pint 🍺

Clean heat isn’t just about homes. A brewery in Sussex shows how industry can lead - ditching gas-fired steam for high-temp heat pumps that recycle waste heat into the next brew.

We were given a sample copy of the book "How to reduce your carbon emissions" by Tony Duckenfield published by @lppbooks.bsky.social.

People have found it helpful: it’s practical, down to earth and discusses barriers to action as well as giving tips for success.
