RISE

Retrofit Information, Support and Expertise (RISE) offers free training,
guidance and support to help social housing providers, Local Authorities and
their supply chains plan and deliver successful domestic retrofit programmes.

RISE offers a clear and simple pathway for organisations looking to bid for
Government funding to deliver domestic retrofit schemes.

Our expert-led team creates and delivers high quality training, events, content
and one-to-one mentoring. These are all free and focus on making it easier for
organisations to develop retrofit plans that not only attract funding but also
meet the needs of residents, create more comfortable homes and support
decarbonisation commitments.

RISE also offers support to those across the retrofit supply chain, enabling
suppliers to better meet the needs of customers and the sector as a whole.

RISE is a Government-backed service, offering support across England. It is
fully funded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, the service
is delivered by Turner & Townsend
