Helping the Isle of Wight build a more sustainable future
Future Isle of Wight is a Community Interest Company providing trusted energy advice, retrofit support, grant guidance and innovative sustainability projects for local residents and communities.
Building a low-carbon future for the Isle of Wight while eradicating fuel poverty
Future Isle of Wight works to make sustainability practical, accessible and relevant to Island communities. Our primary focus is the built environment, where better energy efficiency can reduce household costs, improve comfort and help cut carbon emissions.
We combine practical advice and community outreach with retrofit support and collaborative projects. By working with residents, businesses, public bodies and delivery partners, we turn ambitious sustainability goals into projects that make a measurable difference on the Isle of Wight.
Retrofit and home energy services
We help improve the comfort, efficiency and carbon footprint of Island homes through practical energy advice, retrofit support and access to suitable grant funding.
Community engagement
Through outreach, events and accessible guidance, we help residents understand new technologies, funding opportunities and practical routes to reducing energy use.
Research and innovation
We work with local, national and international partners on projects exploring new approaches to energy, transport electrification and community sustainability.
