Six peer learning webinars to catch up on this June

As we head into summer, we're reflecting on all the insightful peer learning presentations that we have shared so far in 2023.  You can access all SHRA's peer learning presentations on-demand on our website.

These sessions provide a valuable opportunity to hear about challenges and learnings from previous retrofit projects from those who helped deliver them.  Follow the links below to watch presentations on a range of topics from councils and housing groups.

2. Wimpey No-Fines - Archetype Spotlight

'Wimpey No-Fines' are buildings that were constructed in situ using concrete with no fine aggregates.  Between the 1940s and 1970s, 300,000 were constructed in the UK.  Darren Banks talks about his work helping Leeds City Council retrofit 190 homes of this archetype with an SHDF grant.
