Connecting Elmbridge Environmental Community Groups

Save Energy and Money talks for communities across Surrey

Surrey Climate Commission, working with ZERO Carbon Guildford, has been awarded funding to run a series of free and impartial 'Save energy and money' talks across Surrey. Many residents are struggling with the cost of living crisis, and there are practical ways that people can save energy (and money) at home.

Through a new series of talks they can share impartial information, help people identify quick wins and signpost people to the grants and services available. They want to reach 1000 Surrey residents in the next 8 months, and they'd love to come and give a talk to your local groups. Book a 'Save energy and money' talk today.
