Margaret has been interested in renewable energy for as long as she can
remember, and is greatly encouraged by the way it is now being developed
and installed across the country, especially by local community
groups. Margaret lives in Kings Heath in a house with a south-facing
roof where solar panels were installed in September 2011. She belongs
to All Saints Church in Kings Heath where she also managed the installation of PV panels.
John Heywood is a retired social worker, who has become an environmental activist in Birmingham Diocese and the town of Sutton Coldfield. He is the PfG company secretary and acting treasurer.
After 40 years as a quantity surveyor Steve has a good understanding of building construction and civil engineering, and knows how the industry works. He also maintains great interest in all modes of renewable energy generation, but focussing on photovoltaic panels and keeping abreast of
current developments. He is a member of a Transition Group in Sutton Coldfield, he is involved in a hydro scheme in a Birmingham Park and he is presently renovating his own house to a low carbon standard.

Being a native of Birmingham, Madeleine is a “product of more than one country”, with family living abroad. Having read Modern Languages at Oxford, she took the opportunity of living and working in the USA as well as in Continental Europe, and is keenly aware of the global implications of an individual’s actions. Always striving to have a positive impact on the world around her, she considers the effective stewardship of the world’s resources to be one of the responsibilities of a practising Christian. She is interested in persuading community groups, such as churches and social landlords, to make decisions regarding the production and conservation of energy which will make buildings more sustainable, to benefit the community and the environment.

Hilda’s Church, Warley Woods, in Smethwick.
