Who Are We?
Warm Home Hub is a drop-in and online service located within the Westside community at the Westside Resource Centre in Galway, Ireland.
It was formed as part of the European NetZeroCities pilot project for the Westside area. Warm Home Hub is a free-of-charge guidance service that supports local residents through sustainably upgrading and retrofitting their homes.
We pride ourselves on being independent, impartial, and community-focused.
Our Mission
Warm Home Hubs is passionate about creating healthier cities leading to healthier people. Under the Horizon Europe programme, the EU launched the “100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030” Mission. This initiative aims to make 100 European cities climate-neutral and smart by 2030.
These cities will serve as hubs for experimentation and innovation, paving the way for all European cities to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. Each city within the initiative has a different focus such as retrofitting or improving the sustainability of transport options and infrastructure, etc. Galway is an official participant in the EU-funded Pilot Cities Programme, a two-year initiative aimed at exploring and testing strategies for rapid decarbonisation. Warm Home Hub's goal is to support the retrofitting of 250 private homes in the Galway Westside area during these two years.
We offer guidance on customised solutions for upgrading individual homes, helping homeowners understand how energy improvements can yield returns in the short and medium term. Most importantly, we simplify the complex landscape of available grant funding to make home energy upgrades more accessible.
