Ofgem have confirmed the next energy price cap from 1st Jan 2025. Find more details through the Martin Lewis website, including advice around switching to a fixed tariff, several of which are expected to be cheaper than the price cap over the next year moneysavingexpert.com/news/2024/11/m…

Nearly 10% of smart meters are not working properly & now BBC Panorama has been told that the meters are designed to operate differently in the north & south of the country. This could be leading to some of the issues we often hear about. Read more here: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Great to attend Selby's Ageing Well Health Fair on Friday. We've been working much closer with many health-related partners in recent years through our 'Heating for Health' project, aiming to support residents with underlying health conditions that are made worse by cold homes.

We are delivering two more free Community Climate Ambassadors courses this year, one in-person in #Scarborough and one online. These are free to anyone living, working or volunteering in #NorthYorkshire. For more information and to book on visit eventbrite.com/cc/community-c…

Last week we finished Energy Ambassadors course number 57! We had a wide geographical spread of organisations in Sept & Oct, enabling information to be disseminated into local communities across Yorkshire and the Northeast. Join us on a future course here eventbrite.com/cc/energy-amba…

Great to attend the @NGNgas & Partners event today in Huddersfield. So many different organisations across Yorkshire & the Northeast who are supporting local communities, and it was brilliant to see some of our Energy Ambassadors in-person after many online meetings!

One of the most important parts of our Community Climate Ambassadors course is hearing from inspirational speakers who are already delivering initiatives to tackle climate change. Thanks to everyone last Friday! Sign up to a future course here eventbrite.com/cc/community-c…

It has been brilliant to have nearly 100 attendees at our recent Energy Ambassador update events. As well as sharing recent news all around energy prices & support schemes, we were joined by Rhys & Rebecca from Stockton and District Citizens Advice to talk about managing debt.

On Friday Kate had the pleasure of attending the Northern Gas Networks Awards 2024 at York Racecourse & we were delighted (and surprised) to receive the 'Charity Partner Award'! It was a fab event & great to celebrate with the team at NGN!

These are the new average annual energy costs after the 10% price rise on 1st Oct. There are different prices depending on how you pay for energy. It is most expensive to pay when the bill comes and you can save an average of £112 per year by setting up a direct debit.
