2025 Share offer update

So far we have raised over £80,000 toward our 2025 Share Offer. This means we have enough money to install panels on at least one school! 

Thank you to everyone who has invested so far! We can’t wait to get the solar panels onto the schools and start generating clean renewable energy for the community.

Our next target is £120,000 which will allow us to install on another site. In total we are looking for £250,000 to install on four sites.

Want to join the 2025 Share Offer and help reduce carbon emissions, save schools money and earn some cash for yourself? Visit our website to get all the information.

In other news, prior approval has been granted for the array at Springwood Primary School’s Swinton site. This is a positive step forward and means we have cleared one of the main administrative hurdles.

Share offer promotion 

We were delighted to join the Stockport Green Network’s annual Greenstock festival, where we met the local MP Lisa Smart and spoke to attendees about the benefits of community energy.

We’ve also taken the opportunity to spread the word about our share offer at Friends of the Earth’s North West Gathering and a Better Business Network event.

Share offer drop in session

Toward the end of the share offer period we will be hosting an online drop in session. This is for anyone interested in the share offer to stop by and ask any questions that you may have. We’ll be on the call for two hours from 6.30pm on Tuesday 15th July but you can join whenever is convenient and stay for as long as you like. To join the drop in, register online here.

Wishing you all the best
