Back in March, CHIC hosted a roundtable event to bring together social landlords and supply chain partners, to consider how we can create effective delivery of the ORP in Wales. We wanted to ensure that our partners have the right tools and solutions in place, with added social value.
The event was held on 23rd March 2023 at the Village Hotel in Cardiff and attended by 42 stakeholders. Updates on progress so far were provided by Chris Jofeh (Chair of Independent Implementation Group on the Decarbonisation of Existing Homes) and on behalf of Welsh Government. These provided an overview of the background to ORP, progress to date and the next steps for the sector.
The event was very successful and there was a definite enthusiasm to repeat the event, recognising the value of meeting, learning and sharing. Read the feedback paper
Join us on 15th November for Part 2
CHIC will be hosting the second roundtable in the series on 15th November 2023 in Cardiff.
We aim to extend invitations both to returning participants from the initial event and to new members and supply chain partners in Wales. We will host discussions on further progress and how this aligns with Welsh Government expectations. We hope to hear from sector experts, seeking their valuable insights into the Optimised Retrofit Programme.
Feedback has been carefully considered and we are currently developing the agenda for the event. Key discussion points will encompass the progress in programme delivery, significant challenges encountered by social landlords, an exploration of ORP 3 Y2 and a deeper focus on conducting surveys and harnessing data.
