📢 Dorset Retrofit Reimagined recordings are now live! Over the past month, Dorset Retrofit Reimagined brought people together to explore how retrofitting can create warmer homes, stronger communities, and a greener Dorset. From sourcing local materials to community-led models that really work—we heard from brilliant projects across the UK and gathered powerful insights from people right here in Dorset. 🎥 Missed the sessions?

🏡 Retrofitting for Community Power: A Vision for Dorset 🏡 Retrofitting isn’t just about upgrading homes—it’s about strengthening communities, keeping money local, and shaping a future where housing works for people and the planet. Join us next Wednesday, 13th March, 7-8PM for a webinar on what a community-driven retrofit movement could look like in Dorset. We’re bringing together two trailblazing organisations that are already making it happen: 🔹 Jonathan Atkinson – People Powered Retrofit (Manchester) Helping homeowners take control of their retrofit journey, connecting people with trusted contractors, and building the skills and capacity needed for a retrofit revolution. 🔹 Melissa Mean – We Can Make (Bristol) Reimagining housing by putting the power and resources into the hands of communities, using local materials, and designing solutions that work for real people. 💡 What we’ll explore: 🔸 How can retrofitting create stronger, more connected communities? 🔸 What could a community-driven Retrofit One-Stop Shop look like in Dorset? 🔸 What can we learn from other places about making retrofit work for everyone? 📍 Sign up & join the conversation: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/retrofit-reimagined-dorset-transforming-neighbourhoods-together-tickets-1221061390489 📅 Tuesday, 13th March, 7-8PM This webinar is part of Dorset Retrofit Reimagined, a series of conversations exploring how we can create warmer homes, stronger communities, and a more resilient future—designed by and for the people who live here.
