Retrofit Information, Support and Expertise (RISE)

Formally known as the Social Housing Retrofit Accelerator (SHRA) and the Home Upgrade Hub (HUG), Retrofit Information, Support and Expertise brings both of these highly successful programmes together, creating a single, easy to navigate service.

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.
