Whether you’re already part of the Retrofit Balsall Heath journey, or new to retrofit and curious to find out more, everyone is welcome.

What is Retrofit Balsall Heath?

Retrofit Balsall Heath is a bold, resident-led movement reshaping our neighbourhood from the ground up.

Powered by grassroots action and working closely with local partners, we are pioneering a just, community-led transition to a low-carbon future—one home, one street, and one conversation at a time.

Our vision is simple yet transformative: empower the people who live here to lead the green transition.

What is retrofit?

Retrofit is a technical term which means making good, “fit” buildings from existing buildings. We are applying this approach to homes, neighbourhoods, hearts and minds.

The traditional definition of retrofit means installing things like solar panels, double-glazing and insulation. These things are important to make our houses fit for purpose; to cut our bills, warm our homes, and reduce our emissions.

But retrofit doesn't stop at the front door. By looking at whole streets and whole neighbourhoods on a collective scale, we find that by working together, we can also improve other aspects of urban life – from the food we eat, to the way we get around.

Together with our community, at Retrofit Balsall Heath we are working to demonstrate that by reimagining our houses, streets and neighbourhoods, we can make our urban communities fit for purpose – both for the people who live there, and for our planet.
