Would you like to make a difference to carbon emissions in our local area? We rely on volunteers to help run our events, plan what's next and publicise our work. We'd love to welcome you if you could spare any time, even if it's just a couple of hours a month. We do not discriminate against anyone for any reason and welcome involvement from all. We pledge to support people living with disability to take part in any of our events or activities.
Green homes grant scheme - access up to £5,000 towards energy-efficient home improvements
Under the Government Green Homes Grant scheme announced in July, hundreds of thousands of people will be able to access vouchers of up to £5,000 and in some cases £10,000 towards making energy-efficient improvements to their homes.
The grant scheme will cover at least two thirds of the cost that homeowners spend on energy efficiency green upgrades, while those on the lowest incomes will not have to pay anything.
