Retrofit Information, Support and Expertise (RISE) is a free service offering training, guidance and support to help social housing providers, Local Authorities and their supply chains plan and deliver successful domestic retrofit programmes.
Funded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, the service is delivered by Turner & Townsend.
The RISE Knowledge Hub (which includes articles, toolkits and guides, online and in-person events, recorded masterclasses and podcasts) is relevant and available to the whole domestic retrofit sector, free of charge.
RISE’s tailored one to one support (RISE Direct) is available to Social Housing providers and Local Authorities in England, as well as businesses working to provide retrofit related services (the ‘retrofit supply chain’). If you are unsure whether you are eligible, please get in touch with the team who can assist.
New content is added to the Knowledge Hub all the time so check back regularly for the latest updates.
You can also follow RISE on LinkedIn and subscribe to the newsletter to keep up to date.
