Community Works CIC Information

UK Community Works CIC (Community Works) was established three years ago, working alongside the charity, the Institute for Sustainability. Aside from possessing substantial experience and expertise in the fields of sustainable communities, energy and built environment, Community Works also retains a very strong and experienced European funded projects team - having developed, managed and delivered all of the Institute for Sustainability ERDF projects in the previous 6 years . Terry McGivern was Head of Programmes (Communities and Built Environment) at the Institute for Sustainability for 6 years up to 2014 - focusing exclusively on London and SE regions. Now as a Director of Community Works (through 2015/16) he has led the CW team in the development of similar "sustainable community" engagements and projects across the country - from Cornwall in the south to Yorkshire and the North East of England. Our particular focus has been on supporting the development of stronger local/community energy markets. Community Works supports communities to develop greater sustainability and resilience by reducing energy demand, increasing localised renewable energy production and boosting growth in low carbon sector products and services. We have expertise in commercial energy generation and supply, energy efficiency; low carbon technologies; innovation; SME/community engagement ; and European project/ programme management.
