Lightfoot Energy was an initiative of the Bishop’s Castle based Wasteless Society, which itself was founded in the mid-1990s.
Light Foot Enterprises was incorporated in 2008 and became a registered charity in 2013. Light Foot’s main thrust was once the Household Energy Surveys, but has been expanded to pursue initiatives to encourage communities to tackle all aspects of the climate and bio-diversity crises.
