Lewes Climate Hub and community energy company Ovesco are running three more of their free energy bill support drop-in sessions this month – and Ovesco has lots more plans to support householders, including free Home Energy Packs and insulation kits to those on low incomes.

Come along to learn:
- Are you on the right energy tariff?

- What happens if your energy company goes bust?
This joint initiative between Ovesco Community Energy company and volunteers from Lewes Climate Hub is being supported by Lewes District Council and the Big Energy Saving Network.
Home energy packs and retrofit support
Ovesco is keen to reach many local households and build partnerships with community and outreach centres to support its work around combatting fuel poverty. As well as advice on bills, it is giving away free ‘Home Energy Packs’ and insulation kits to those on low income consisting of:
- General energy efficiency information
- Information on free fuse upgrades
- Radflek (radiator reflectors)
- Draught excluders
- Secondary glazing film
For those interested in more in-depth energy saving, its Communiheat programme has gathered resources and signposting for advice on retrofitting properties to make them less draughty and more energy efficient. This will be posted on its website, and be made available through its energy saving programme.
For more information about any of these services or if you would like bill checking or advice to a group you are involved with, please email energyadvice@ovesco.co.uk or call its new freephone number: 0800 4589045.
