People Powered Retrofit are a cooperative one-stop-shop based in Manchester, working across the north west to provide independent advice to householders to plan, procure, and deliver domestic retrofit projects to a high standard.

Their Home Retrofit Planner tool provides in-depth, tailored, home retrofit assessments. PPR also offer design review services and contractor training to support retrofit delivery, and offer consultancy, tools, and peer support for organisations who want to develop retrofit services in their own area.
