About us
Who we are
CSE is a Bristol-based national charity (#298740) founded in 1979 that helps people and organisations address the climate emergency and end the misery of cold homes. We shares our knowledge and experience to help people change the way they think and act on energy.
We do this by giving advice, managing innovative energy projects and undertaking research and policy analysis.
To work towards our mission, we depend on our skilled and committed staff (currently about 80), who are normally based in our offices in central Bristol.
At any one time we’re working on between 70 and 90 different and separately-funded projects. Our work is guided by our purpose, methods and values. We have grown significantly in recent years (up 40% in staff numbers since March 2019) and we see further opportunities to increase our impact and influence as a charity in the coming years.
