We can help community organisations reduce their building energy costs and carbon emissions by installing renewable systems such as heat pumps or solar panels.
We can help your community at every stage of the project – from initial advice through to project completion.
We’ve supported lots of communities across Scotland to install renewable technologies such as heat pumps and solar panels to reduce their building’s energy costs and carbon emissions.
In this video we speak to:
- Friends of Duddingston Charitable Trust, Edinburgh
- Braehead and Broomridge Community Development Trust, Stirling
- Inverness Masjid, Inverness
- Loch Ness Hub, Drumnadrochit.
Watch our video to find out more and be inspired to decarbonise your community building with support from CARES and read our case studies below. We’ll reach net zero by working together.
