We've published our impact report for 2024-5, covering the value of Selce’s work, and our contribution to a sustainable and fair energy future: With chapters on fuel poverty alleviation, domestic retrofit, solar & energy efficient LED lighting, plus 9 case studies.

@lewisham.gov.uk & Selce are working together on an exciting project to understand how housing retrofit (home improvements such as insulation, ventilation or renewable energy) affects people’s everyday lives. We’re looking for local residents to become Citizen Scientists:

"One day your hard work will finally become a routine part of a humane energy system. Meanwhile, I hope this little helps ..."

What is a healthy home temperature, how to deal with draughts and the importance of controlled ventilation

“Essentially, we sell equity in Selce, which in fact acts as a sort of loan stock, if you like. We borrow money from the community. We generate an income by selling solar energy to the school or the community center, which then allows us to repay the principal." buff.ly/gx6ASJr

"We are building renewable energy projects alongside doing something that is quite charitable, supporting people who are in very vulnerable situations." buff.ly/gx6ASJr
