about

Energy Action Redhill and Reigate was formed in 2021 by a group of residents with a shared interest in reducing the carbon footprint of local buildings. We formally registered with the Financial Conduct Authority as a non-profit Community Benefit Society in January 2022.

We aim to benefit our community by promoting energy efficiency:

to help residents keep their homes warm and their bills low
to make local buildings more sustainable

Any surpluses are reinvested to meet these aims or are distributed for community benefit in and around the Borough of Reigate and Banstead.

Partnerships

Our work is featured on the Reigate & Banstead Borough Council website on their My Sustainable Home page. We also work closely with the established environmental group Zero Carbon Guildford as a local delivery partner for the Surrey-wide Home Energy Advice Taskforce (HEAT) project.
