SPEAK UP - THE COST OF HEATING OUR HOMES AND BUYING FOOD IS GOING UP!

We hope you are all keeping safe and well.  The cost of heating our homes and buying food to live is going up. We are all worried about this and want to try to help everyone.

Speakup has been doing lots of work on energy and we have put it all together in a pack on our website called “My home my Energy I have the Power!” Some of you may have used it to support people already.  You can find it here: www.speakup.org.uk/myhomemyenergyihavethepower

If you click into the page of resources you can download some tiny training packs called:

Your Energy Bills
Smart Meters
The Priority Services Register
Gas Safety in the home
Electrical Safety in the home

Smart Meters are a good idea because they may help people to be in more control of their energy use, people can ask their energy provider if they can get one. If you would like us to do a short training session with your group on Zoom about smart meters we are happy to do this anytime up until early December. Please email annie@speakup.org.uk to arrange this. 

On our website you can also find lots of other resources to help people.
