Are you interested in CCF’s Eco-Renovations and Climate Friendly Homes Projects?
Changes are afoot! At this meeting we’ll be discussing the future of the Eco-ren and CFH projects, it will be after our AGM where we will be discussing the future of CCF as a much more volunteer-run organisation.
We’d love to get a bigger, more diverse, group organising these two projects, and have them working alongside each other more, so we’d like to invite YOU to come along to get involved.
Thursday 26th May
7.30 – 9.30pm
Venue – CB2 (Norfolk St) we’ll be upstairs!
Email beejal@cambridgecarbonfootprint if you think you might come along so we can get an idea of numbers!
This meeting will be a discussion meeting and ideas generating session for interested volunteers to find out more. It’s not a commitment and you don’t need to come with ideas (although it’s great if you do!) So come along and let the creativity flow!!

Climate Friendly Homes and Thermal Imaging
The Climate Friendly Homes Project provides a free service to householders to help them make practical plans to reduce your carbon emissions.
Volunteer surveyor training prepares volunteers so that they are able to offer:
- A free individualised report offering suggestions and advice about what can be done to cut the carbon footprint of your home, and save on bills.
- Free loan of an electricity monitor, and help installing it – because seeing how much energy you use helps you cut down
- Information tailored to your circumstances on grants, suppliers and discount
- Advice and support.
We also train volunteers to use our thermal imaging camera. This detects infrared radiation and produces images like this one, enabling users to see the key areas where heat is being lost.
Once volunteers have been trained they are able to make bookings to borrow the camera.
