“Our residents are getting great value for money and they’re reducing their energy bills. The most important thing is that it’s saved her money on her electricity bills, which is great.”

We also shared a special Wales Climate Week edition of our podcast, The Decarbonisation Dialogue, featuring inspiring voices from across Wales - from ecological artist Bronwen Gwillim, to sustainability leader Teifion Maddocks, and policy expert Dr Jack Price.

Our programme manager for Wales, Gbenga Adenaike, joined the Innovation & Capacity Building panel to explore how collaboration, data and investment in people can help deliver real change across the public sector.

Bringing together organisations, policymakers and communities from across Wales, the week focused on practical action - from decarbonising homes and transport to building the skills and innovation needed for a sustainable future.

Bronwen’s creative ethos is deeply personal and grounded in care for the planet.

From her studio on the coast and opposite an oil refinery - a daily reminder of our dependency on fossil fuels, she’s using art to question value, empower women, and reimagine waste.

Bronwen was a wonderful guest and hugely inspirational. After studying at Goldsmiths and Camberwell College of Arts, Bronwen returned to her Welsh roots to build a thriving practice making wearable art jewellery from waste plastic collected on local beaches.

Teamwork is powering Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust's Teaching journey to net zero.

From installing air source heat pumps and LED lighting to balancing heritage with innovation, these works are cutting carbon while improving comfort for patients, staff, and the community. 💚

“Although not what we’d originally planned, we knew that any measure would provide a great benefit to our residents.

“We believe this experience has been both a learning experience and a success, showcasing our dedication to do the best we can for our residents, even when challenges are faced.”

The required ecological surveys to investigate concerns would incur more than £ 10,000 of unexpected expenses on top of the projected upgrade costs.

To avoid the inflated costs, the planned measures for the properties were amended to remove the external wall insulation & install solar PV instead.

Veronica puts the environment at the centre of her pioneering art project in King’s Lynn.

In our podcast, she explains that while the artists she showcases at GroundWork don’t have to be environmentalists, she ensures that climate change is never far from the discussion.

At Salix, we’re on a mission to help save the planet.

We exist to enable and inspire public sector organisations to move towards net zero and create better places to live and work.
