OPC started us thinking how to become a low carbon community, and have encouraged us ever since. Generous donations have also helped keep us running.

Co-operatives UK and Co-operative Futures helped clear a path through the many possible legal incorporation options to our eventual decision to become a Community Benefit Society. This is a legal structure that is completely and permanently focussed on benefitting our community, no other person and no other organisation. They have also given us invaluable support in registering with the Financial Conduct Authority and guiding us in how to manage a CBS.

Metro Bank gave Heat Clanfield an account, and even pay interest. Thank you.

Power for People, a not-for-profit organisation that is having success at changing government policy to to see the UK rapidly transition to 100% clean energy and for this to benefit local communities. A reformed energy market could see Clanfield able to generate renewable electricity, earn higher profits from selling it, and even supply individual customers in the community, neither of which is possible now.

We are grateful for their generous Community Energy Fund grant to pay for a feasibility study, for their patient help with our uninformed questions, and for providing forums to meet and learn from energy experts and other community groups.

Adventure Plus are close partners and share our environmental values. They have offered their land as the possible future site of Clanfield’s solar installation. We can't thank them enough for their support!

Low Carbon Hub are showing us what can be done and are fighting for what still needs to be done. They show what can be done to “meet our energy needs in a way that is good for people and the planet” and fighting for what still needs to be done. Heat Clanfield is now a member organisation, benefiting from their advice and generous grants.

Many thanks to Scene Connect for their expertise and commitment to helping Heat Clanfield Limited. They carried out a thorough review of all the possible ways to move Clanfield towards a secure, low carbon future, and are supporting us in our application to the government for a development grant.

Like-minded community energy groups we have learnt from, especially the pioneering work at Swaffham Prior and local Oxfordshire projects Heating Upper Heyford and Greener Great Coxwell.

A big thank you to Bampton Charity Shop for several generous grants to pay for things Heat Clanfield needs to keep going, such as indemnity insurance, leaflet printing, web hosting and hall hire for meetings.
