Understanding home upgrade grants: West Wight community event

Niton Village Hall, PO38 2AT

Wednesday, February 5th, 15:00 – 19:00

After several successful presentations at venues including the Riverside Centre, Future Isle of Wight is excited to announce our very first local community event!

We’ll be heading to the West Wight to hold a four-hour presentation in Niton Village Hall on Wednesday, February 5th (3pm to 7pm).

Join us for complimentary tea and coffee and listen to our resident expert Vince explain everything you need to know about home upgrade grants. As well as a detailed explanation of what home upgrades you can access for free via government funding, we’ll be on hand to answer any of your heating and insulation questions and offer impartial advice.

Home upgrade grants can be surprisingly easy to attain, and many households can benefit from free insulation, heating, and solar PV measures worth thousands of pounds, so if you live locally, this is a must-see presentation!

We can’t wait to meet you!
