Our Energy Advice Programme starts this month, in which we can help people to review and reduce their energy costs, discuss saving energy and the availability of energy grants for people who may be struggling with household budgets at the moment. We can also support people to switch energy providers if they would like to do so. It’s a valuable focus on an essential cost, to make everyone aware of the help that exists, so please help us to spread the word.
Contact us on 0808 278 7868 for more information.
