Do you need advice on how to reduce fuel costs over winter or ideas about making your community more energy efficient?
Local Trust is offering online surgery discussions with experts from the Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE) for Big Local areas. Big Local partnerships can book a 45-minute one-to-one call with an advisor to discuss questions or issues related to energy and climate issues. These informal conversations provide an opportunity to get brief advice or guidance tailored to your needs.
The surgeries are particularly useful for areas looking to reduce energy costs, making your community more energy efficient, exploring the viability of renewable energy in your area, and communicating the impact of climate change and responding with local climate positive initiatives.
These surgery sessions will take place on 23 January 2025, with slots available throughout the day. The first session starts at 9:00 am, and the last at 4:00 pm. Multiple participants from your area are welcome to join the call. There are 8 available slots, allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
When you sign up, you will be able to choose from the following times. You may book only one slot, and bookings close 7 days before the selected time:
