Connecting organisations with skilled & committed volunteers
Hundreds of community energy groups are shaking up the UK's power systems and building stronger, healthier energy communities.
For every £1 they spend, they're generating about £9 in social benefit, helping neighbours lower their energy bills, upgrade their homes and push green energy.
But with 80% of their work being done by volunteers, these groups really need some skilled support!
That’s where Community Energy Connect comes in.
The UK's only volunteering platform specifically built with community energy in mind.

Why we built Community Energy Connect
In 2023, we spoke with community energy groups across the country to understand their biggest challenges. One thing became clear: finding and managing volunteers was tricky.
That’s where Community Energy Connect comes in, a free, easy-to-use tool designed to help organisations take their groups to the next level. After piloting the platform, it was clear it was a huge success. That’s why we partnered with Do It, giving community energy groups the perfect tool to connect with the right people.
