Donate
Buckinghamshire Community Energy is run and funded by Volunteers, who are also the five Board Members.
We are actively developing renewable energy projects, and we have plans for energy efficiency advice, thermographic photography and heat loss advice and other services.
Any amount you can donate will help to sustain our development work until we are able to launch a community share offer for specific projects which are currently in the pipeline and which should help us build a sustainable, independent organisation.
We also need funding to cover insurance, to fund our communications campaigns around energy efficiency and our community outreach to grow our membership and partnerships.
In the absence of a volunteer to act as Secretary to the organisation and maintain a high quality of governance, we may need to fund a professional to provide this service.
Your donation will ensure that we can get to the next stage of our development, to continue our important work of helping the people and organisations of Buckinghamshire to reduce their energy use, and decarbonise.

We have applied for funding for a thermographic camera to enable us to provide a thermal imaging service to homeowners to enable them to see where their homes are leaking heat.
The role involves four hour shifts on selected dates in different towns and villages across Buckinghamshire. You will be trained to take photos of the outside of people’s homes, analyse the images and give informal energy saving advice based on the findings from the images.
Expenses will be paid, and we run the Roadshows in the winter months only.
