Cumbria Action for Sustainability trains volunteers from sustainability groups to use thermal imaging cameras so they can offer free thermal imaging surveys in local homes. This helps to identify possible cold spots in residents’ homes and inform possible steps to make their homes warmer. 

Volunteers from St Bees Green Future took up the offer of training last autumn. Four volunteers completed 37 thermal imaging surveys between December 2024 and March 2025 in St Bees and nearby villages. 

If you missed the opportunity to have a free thermal imaging survey of your home or you’d be interested in helping to carry out these surveys, we hope to be able to offer them again this coming autumn and winter, so look out for details.
