Description:
Cumbria Action For Sustainability (CAfS) is a local charity set up to promote sustainable development across Cumbria. Our main focus is to deliver training and education to create a more sustainable future in Cumbria through the clever use of our buildings, prudent energy use and low carbon energy generation.
We work with householders, local environmental action groups, parish councils, communities, businesses, indeed anyone who wants to help tackle climate change and rising energy costs in Cumbria.
We do this by:
? Supporting communities and organisations to take action through providing advice, information and resources
? Undertaking practical projects from draught proofing the homes of those in fuel poverty to establishing community owned energy schemes
? Providing training and events to increase skills of those in the area from homeowners to architects and planners, particularly on how to improve energy efficiency of older buildings
? Organising the annual Cumbria Green Build Festival, encouraging people to open up their homes and businesses to help others undertake greener practices.
? Providing various services from home energy audits, to bespoke projects for local agencies.
