Take Action on Empty Homes

DONATE

How you can get involved

CAMPAIGN WITH US

We want everyone to be talking about how empty homes are wasted opportunities to:

  • increase housing stock

  • revitalise neighbourhoods where there are high numbers of unloved empties

  • reduce the need for new builds, particularly on the edges of existing communities

  • reduce the need for so many new builds, which we know ‘costs’ far more in carbon emissions than recycling housing stock that already exists

  • retrofit our housing stock, taking the ‘vacancy opportunity’ to future-proof our homes

To help campaign and raise awareness you can:

  1. Follow us, and share our work, on your socials (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Bluesky)

  2. Write to your MP

  3. Sign our letter to the Government

  4. Sign up BELOW to our newsletter so you can be involved in any action or campaigns

Think local. We are creating a community area; a place for people around the country to share ideas and practical advice and info about retrofitting empty homes in their areas, to network and campaign together to bring empty homes back into use. If you would like to be one of the first to join this free community space, subscribe to our newsletter below to hear when it goes live. In the meantime, take a look at our community resources for support on what you can achieve.

Consider Donating to us - we’re a small but mighty team working to support those bringing empty homes back into use and change policies around housing vacancy. Anything you can spare will help take action on empty homes.
