Action with Communities in Rural England (ACRE) have created a survey with Utility Aid to better understand how the energy price rise is affecting Village Halls.
As part of our campaign to raise awareness, and reduce the impact of, the energy crisis on Norfolk's voluntary, community, and social enterprise sector, we are sharing below our open letter to MPs, policy makers and key stakeholders. You can find out more about our campaign here.
“Like all of you, the charity has been through the tough times of the Covid lockdowns and, just as some normality seemed to be returning, the costs of energy have risen so much that we are all struggling to find a way to keep up with them”
Community Action Norfolk are becoming more concerned with the energy price rise and the impact it is having on not only individuals, but on charities and village halls. That is why we are launching a campaign to raise awareness of the issue and to advocate for change.
Our partners at easyfundraising have announced that voluntary, community, and not-for-profit causes can receive donations from leading supermarkets - Sainsbury's, Asda, Tesco, Waitrose, Morrisons, Ocado and Iceland.
