https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/big-energy-saving-network-grant-offer-fund

This is a scheme open to charities and local organisations to host events to help people switch energy suppliers, take advantage of any grants and generally help people reduce their out going on heating bills.

So if any body is part of a local charity or eligible organisation or knows of people who are, this could be worth having a look at. As its £5000 to host events through out the year helping people save money.

I am doing it with a local charity to me, and I think it is worthwhile.

I posted it on here because these things aren't publicised very well.
