Reducing our carbon footprint

Moseley Community Development Trust (CDT) in Birmingham has received a £5,000 grant from Biffa Award, a multi-million pound fund that helps to build communities and transform lives through awarding grants to community and environmental projects across the UK.


The money has been spent on installing two new energy efficient boilers at the Moseley Exchange building, a former 1930’s telephone exchange.

We are a community enterprise which means our profits are ploughed back into the community and not paid out to shareholders. The CDT tries to find out what will work in Moseley and how we can make a lasting contribution. We want to see how much of an impact we are having on the local economy in Moseley.

STAY WARM STAY WELL: THIS SERVICE HAS NOW STOPPED WE HOPE IT WILL RESTART IN 2013

Moseley Community Development Trust is working with partners in the voluntary sector and Birmingham City Council to help residents save energy, money and stay well this winter. The extra help ‘Stay Warm Stay Well’ will offer this year includes:
• Making sure eligible households receive support from Birmingham Energy Savers to physically improve cold homes;
• Targeting more help at families with young children;
• Providing cold weather crisis provision for homeless rough sleepers, and
• Targeting more help for those with a health risk.

Key achievements for last winter’s campaign included:
• Over 1,400 home visits made to help vulnerable individuals and families prepare for winter: achieving better home energy efficiency; reducing fuel bills; maximising income and improving quality of life through home safety and home security checks.
• The promotion of behaviour change to reduce fuel waste.
• ‘Warm Space’ events held across the city to get vulnerable people out of cold homes and into the warmth.
• In addition, extra benefits worth over £750,000 were identified for the over 75s and other vulnerable people who were not claiming their full entitlement.
