Energy Advice Cafés

Community advice cafés for home energy support.

Who are Energy Advice Cafés for?

As the cost of living rises, managing energy use is crucial. Many households struggle with energy bills, and we’re here to help. Our Energy Advice Cafés offer tips on making your home more energy-efficient and saving money.

Everyone is welcome to drop into our free Cafés for practical advice, follow-up support, financial aid info, and cost-cutting workshops.

Each session lasts 1 - 2 hours. Just bring your recent energy bills and usage info, and feel free to bring friends or family who could benefit!
