🏡 Greener, warmer homes—and lower bills!

Council tenants in 2,000 upgraded homes can now expect to start saving up to £600-£1200 thanks to a major retrofit scheme led by Birmingham City Council and Equans.

See the difference for Bradfield House, before and after the scheme.

On one side is a picture of Bradfield House before works began. On the other is what Bradfield House looks like now that the works have been completd.

Our Indoors Campaign launched yesterday. It's bringing over 20 organisations together to help long-term rough sleepers move indoors — and stay indoors.

This two-week intensive effort brings together faith groups, charities, health services, and more, to break the cycle of rough sleeping.
