We're North Wales's first community interest company that helps you access fully funded energy efficiency grants for your home & gives the profits back to your community.
Countdown to the awards ceremony
Navigation between the cost-of-living crisis, the energy crisis and the climate crisis should be a challenge no person should face alone. So we’re making it easier for people living in the most vulnerable circumstances & least energy efficient homes to access expert impartial energy advice & get support accessing funding that upgrades & improves the energy efficiency of their homes.
Our goal is to use profits earned from the 'big 6' energy companies, who are reporting record profits during this energy and fuel crisis, to support social causes throughout Wrexham, North Wales and beyond! We're committed to helping those who are most vulnerable, as well as everyone else who is struggling with skyrocketing costs.
Unfortunately, homes in Wales and the UK are among the least efficient in Western Europe, and vulnerable individuals are often the ones who are most affected. Poor housing standards can have deadly consequences, which is why we are determined to take action.
While simple measures like swapping out light bulbs, radiator foils and reducing heating usage can help, they may not be enough for those people or buildings who are struggling the most.
Currently, there is a lack of access to impartial experts in buildings & energy for support and independent energy advice from qualified professionals with industry experience. This can result in people living in less energy-efficient homes experiencing poorer health and quality of life.
Additionally, those in desperate situations are at risk of being targeted by 'pop-up' cold callers and unscrupulous energy product installers, who may not provide the appropriate solution or continued support. Unfortunately, we are currently assisting a significant number of homes that have fallen victim to misleading promises of completely eliminating fuel bills, only to realise that such claims are not true. We've been in this field for years and have gained a great understanding of who we should collaborate with and who we should steer clear of.
At the Litegreen Foundation CIC, we aim to disrupt the trend by working collaboratively with local charitable organisations and social value businesses from across sectors to turn profit into social funding. We believe that tackling the cost of living and energy crisis at their root cause is crucial, and we are committed to doing everything we can to make a positive impact in the lives of those we help.
This means that we can provide expert advice and support that is unbiased and completely focused on helping you. We have a team of qualified energy advisors and building inspectors that will put you at the center of your home and help provide the right advice, guidance and support to make informed decisions about your home and all the other amazing hl that is out there for you to access.
The Litegreen Foundation CIC is a company limited by guarantee, meaning our profits go back into community projects in Wrexham and North Wales. We support various community groups, buildings, and organizations with advice on energy and carbon reduction. Our goal is to help create a greener future by cutting costs, lowering carbon emissions, and conserving resources, while also advancing the Welsh Green agenda.
We are dedicated members of our community with strong charity sector experience. We aim to ensure that a significant part of the UK government budget benefits our area. Stay tuned for updates, including success stories and important lessons on what to do and what to avoid.
At Litegreen Foundation CIC, we collaborate with local charities, councils, and the Welsh Government to offer assistance to those who require it the most. We provide a wide range of services, including independent advice for domestic energy grants, commercial building energy performance, and feasibility.
Our goal is to bring energy efficiency upgrades worth
£16,000,000 to
1,000 homes resulting in cost savings on energy bills and a reduction of
400 tons of carbon emissions over the next four years. We would love for your home, group, or business to be part of this positive change, and with our assistance, it can be. Let's work together to make a difference!
