Community shares - the Christmas gift that keeps on giving
We have all unwrapped yet another pair of socks at Christmas. Many of us will have had a goat donated to a needy village in our name. All jolly good, but this year how about some community shares?It will be an alternative and meaningful gift for family or friends who don’t want more stuff but do want to make the places they live better and be an environmental champion.
Shares cost £1, with a minimum investment of £100. The target interest offered on your investment is an impressive 3-5%.
A gift that does good not just locally, but for the environment as a whole. What’s not to like?
TVAC ground source heat pump Share Offer:
Earlier this year MaidEnergy installed solar panels at Thames Valley Athletics Centre, and our next project is another partnership with them, this time to install low carbon heating.
We're excited about our new project, our first non-solar project that takes advantage of the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) before the government phase it out. If we’re going to reach net zero emissions in the UK, decarbonising heat will be vital, and can reduce even more greenhouse gas emissions than electricity, so we would love to be part of that locally.
