series of workshops have been taking place around the UK aimed at disseminating the results of two key pieces of research: how to achieve successful scheme integration, and new mechanisms for promoting community sustainable energy partnerships (CSEP). The Local Authority Operational Group of the Energy Efficiency Partnership for Homes has commissioned the ten workshops, which are being provided through the regional HECA fora. This workshop will not only be a re-run of these workshops, but will also be used to present findings from them.

Both pieces of research are available in the form of guidance on the Practical help website: www.practicalhelp.org.uk. For more information, contact the Practical help advisory service on 0870 241 2089, or email info@practicalhelp.org.uk.
