Brae Rural Energy Hub is proud to be part of a vibrant network of community groups, local clubs and organisations across Shetland. From day one, our mission has relied on close partnership and collective action. By joining forces with others, we ensure our work is meaningful, rooted in local experience, and open to everyone.
We’re passionate about supporting, learning from, and collaborating with other local groups who make life in Shetland stronger, greener, and more connected.
Local Collaborations
Brae Youth & Community Centre Committee
The heart of our Hub is the Brae Youth & Community Centre—home to countless local events, youth club activities, and social gatherings. We work together with the BYCC committee to ensure the Hub’s services complement and support the long-running role of the community centre. This collaboration keeps valued group activities running, while bringing new services like our café and energy advice under one roof.
Community clubs & groups
We work with resident groups and clubs such as the Brae Youth Club and the Living Well Hub. Their ongoing activities help shape what we offer, and our space is designed so that we can all thrive in a newly refurbished, future-proofed centre.
Shetland Climate Festival & local events
We aim to be active participants in local events like the Shetland Climate Festival, using these opportunities to share practical advice, demonstrate greener technologies and spark vital conversations. Such festivals bring together a wide circle of Shetland organisations, reinforcing a sense of shared purpose and local pride.
Supporting Community Innovation
Our mission is to regularly partner with schools, local businesses, health groups and voluntary organisations—sharing knowledge, hosting events, and signposting opportunities for funding or training. Whether it’s a repair café, a transport trial, or a greener community celebration, we’re here to help ideas flourish.
Local networks, organisations and businesses
We are delighted to be a part of various networks in Shetland such as the Energy Advisors Network, where we can learn and collaborate with related organisations such as Citzens Advice Bureau and Warmworks.
