 Energy advice sessions to help lower your bills
We've teamed up with Citizens Advice Wokingham to run an energy advice workshop in Finchampstead next week.
We'll be at The Community Hub (20 Gorse Ride South, RG40 4EH) from 11am to 12.30pm to give free energy advice to residents.
It's a drop in session, no need to book. You can find out about:
- Types of tariffs and meters
- Energy efficiency ideas to save energy
- Current energy crisis and price cap
- Current support offered by Government
- Winter fuel and cold weather payments
- Explaining the Warm Home Discount
- Explaining the priority services register
- Fuel Debts and benefit entitlements
- Carbon Monoxide awareness and alarms
More dates for similar events elsewhere in the borough will be available in the New Year. Watch out for future updates.
If you can't make it but want energy advice, you can contact the council’s Customer Service Team on the website or by phone on (0118) 974 6000.
You will then be signposted to the relevant information you need, or referred to the council’s Energy Team who will be able to give more detailed advice.
Residents can also access the Parity Projects Plan Builder App directly without contacting the council first. This will give you options for changes you could make to where you live to save money on energy.
 Help this festive season

Organisations across the borough are on hand to help those who need. This includes potential support with gifts and Santa's grotto visits.
