Insulate Sherborne aims to support residents who want to reduce their energy bills, make their homes warmer and reduce their carbon footprint.
Working with Healthy Homes Dorset*, and other agencies, Insulate Sherborne will direct you with where to go to get advice on how to make changes from quick, low tech solutions to more complex energy saving installations, such as solar panels.
Insulate Sherborne was set up by the volunteers behind the Sherborne Repair Cafe – it is a not for profit organisation. It’s aim is to spread the word about the steps we can take to keep warm this winter without it costing the earth.
The Insulate Sherborne website lists practical things you can do and where to go to get further advice. You may even find that you are eligible for free loft insulation.
*Healthy Homes Dorset is funded by Dorset Council and Public Health Dorset and delivered by Ridgewater Energy.
