We’re delivering free advice and awareness sessions for consumers, where you can find out how to be more energy efficient by making small changes in the home, and where you can get additional support.
We have been receiving a lot of queries from charities and Parish Councils with community buildings and spaces with a capacity of over 100, as they are concerned about the potential impact of Martyn's Law. Here, we explain a little bit about what it is, what the potential impacts are and what is happening with it.
We are proud to announce that we are supporting the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk with the Go Green Communities project, funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
Rural community buildings across the county will be considering how they can save energy and work with groups in their community to contribute to Net Zero this week as part of Village Halls Week.
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.
“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.
CAN is working in partnership with Future Projects in combating social isolation in the Breckland and North Norfolk districts of the county. We'd be grateful if those reading this and living or working in Breckland or North Norfolk could share this information - especially to anyone you know who may be interested in volunteering. Thank you.
This is Part 2 of last week's article about other options when Charities and Community Organisations might be considering closing down. You can read Part 1 here.
