D.I.G.R.S. - DIVIDE- rooms with portable insulated panels, fabric or green walls to save energy & aid function INSULATE -walls, floors & ceilings inside. Outside use green walls of soil / water thermal mass GROW - frruit & veg in pots inside & by outside walls for sustenance & mental / physical health REUSE - materials to do this or use materials with recycled content to save money & resources STORAGE & SECURITY in room dividers by adding insulation panels to back of storage unit book shelves

D.I.G.R.S. (an idea by Paul Ridley to help reduce the current high energy cost and food inflation / supply issues)
 
DIVIDE- rooms with portable insulated panels, fabric or green walls to save energy & aid function 
INSULATE -walls, floors & ceilings inside. Outside use green walls of soil / water thermal mass
GROW - fruit & veg in pots inside & by outside walls for sustenance & mental / physical health
REUSE - materials to do this or use materials with recycled content to save money & resources
STORAGE in room dividers by adding insulation panels to back of  storage unit book shelves, and SECURITY SHUTTERS where insulated panels can be reused with loose pin hinges for windows to insulate and protect from rising crime

I encourage people to source preferably reusable materials locally where possible.

Cabinz cic and the Shelter and the Hardware  Bank Network (SAHBN) can supply low cost , high quality fixings such as screws, loose pin hinges & growing buckets to groups to facilitate this and possibly donate some limited amounts. As mentioned by me previously, I recommend DIY'ers exploring Hexayurt construction methods & designs
