  6. “I wanted to write to say a big thanks for helping me so much. I was in despair when I rang you with nowhere left to turn and didn't know how I would manage with a broken boiler. I have not been so well looked after by an organisation ever and it restores my hope that those of us who are alone and marginalised by poverty and ill-health have not been completely abandoned.”

  7. What are we trying to achieve? • Target ‘early adopters’ to install more complex measures and / or do deep retrofit • Normalise energy upgrades as part of other retrofit works • Stimulate the supply chain locally • Encourage more SMEs to do low carbon retrofit as part if their day to day business
