Good Growth in Greater LondonUsing guidance for Greater London.
A real local connection. A specific positive practice. Evidence you can check.
UK guidance currently covers Greater London; it is not a separate standard for every UK city.
What we look for locally
Repair, reuse, refill and borrowing; shared skills and community services; clearly described home-energy advice or support.
What needs checking
Check the actual borough and service catchment, resident or referral eligibility, appointments and programme dates. Distinguish energy advice, assessments and installations; do not assume savings.
Inclusion describes a specific practice, not an overall impact score, certification or confirmed membership. Check each profile’s evidence and limitations.
