RISE replaces the services formally known as the Social Housing Retrofit Accelerator and the Home Upgrade Hub. RISE brings both of these highly successful programmes together, creating a single comprehensive and easy to navigate service.
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 about 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.
As a centre of excellence, we also offer a comprehensive online hub of resources and ongoing learning and development programme, which makes accessing our services simple and easy to fit around busy schedules.
Alongside this, RISE offers support to those across the retrofit supply chain, enabling suppliers to better meet the needs of customers and the sector as a whole.
Critically, we offer all this valuable support for as long as it is needed. We make sure it’s as relevant to those at the very start of their retrofit journey as it is to those with more experience but who are looking to expand and improve.
Whether you are looking to bid for the upcoming wave 3 of SHDF funding, or for future funding to support local authority retrofit programmes, the RISE team can help.
The first step is to complete our new self assessment form. This allows us to identity exactly what support you might need with your project planning and bid preparation.
