The company's activities and impact for the year ended 31 October 2025. Home Energy Action Taskforce HEAT Project CIC remained dormant for statutory accounts purposes throughout the year ended 31 October 2025, with no significant accounting transactions and no income or expenditure passing through the company. The directors have used the period to actively prepare the company for future trading and community delivery, so that when it begins operating it can move quickly to deliver measurable benefit to the communities it was established to serve. During the year the directors refined the company's community purpose and target beneficiaries, focusing HEAT Project CIC on tackling fuel poverty, improving domestic energy efficiency, and supporting households in hard to treat and rural properties to access retrofit measures and energy advice. The directors reviewed the wider policy and funding landscape, including the Warm Homes Local Grant, ECO4, and successor arrangements, Ofgem consumer standards and PAS 2035 retrofit requirements, to identify where a community focused delivery vehicle can add most value alongside commercial retrofit providers. The directors developed an early stage delivery strategy built around three complementary strands. The first is trusted community facing energy advice and triage. The second is referral pathways into grant funded retrofit measures. The third is a social value and community engagement offer that partner installers and local authorities can commission. The directors considered potential operating models for the CIC, including partnership working with Happy Energy Solutions Ltd and other PAS 2030 and PAS 2035 accredited contractors, so that the CIC can act as a community front door without duplicating existing commercial capacity. The directors initiated informal engagement with prospective stakeholders, including local authority housing and sustainability teams, registered providers, community organisations and referral partners, to test demand and shape the future service offer. The directors reviewed potential grant, foundation and social investment funding streams appropriate to a dormant CIC preparing to trade, and began scoping the evidence and governance that funders will expect at the point of application. The directors progressed internal readiness work, including reviewing the company's governing documents against its community interest statement, considering the future board composition, and identifying the policies covering safeguarding, data protection, complaints, conflicts of interest and social value measurement that will need to be adopted before trading commences. The directors kept the company's statutory records, registered office and Companies House filings in good order, so that the corporate vehicle remains ready for activation. No community facing services were delivered by the CIC itself during the year, and therefore no direct community benefits, beneficiaries or outputs are reported for the period. Any costs associated with the preparatory activities described above were not incurred by the CIC and did not pass through its accounts, which is why the company remained dormant for the purposes of section 480 of the Companies Act 2006. Looking ahead, the directors intend to move the company towards active trading during the next financial year, subject to securing an appropriate initial pipeline of work or funding. The company's future activities will be delivered in line with its community interest statement and reported against clear community benefit measures in subsequent CIC reports.
