Frome Town Council and National Energy Action are offering a free half day training session to enable people to support others in reducing their energy costs and address the impacts of fuel poverty.
The course will cover how to identify those at risk of fuel poverty, health impacts associated with cold homes, how to read electricity and gas meters and calculate energy consumption, reducing energy use through insulation and sources of advice and assistance.
Frome Town Council ...and Fair Frome are also running a free weekly energy café at the Town Hall every Tuesday from 10am – midday until the end of February, to help residents reduce their energy bills and carbon emissions. People who attend the training could potentially help with these information sessions or can just use the information to help friends and neighbours who might benefit from cutting their energy costs.
The course includes refreshments and a light lunch.
