Big thanks to @UtilityAid for hosting a very informative talk for us yesterday, helping representatives from #VillageHalls and #CommunityBuildings across #Kent learn more about dealing with rising #energy costs & how to make their buildings more #energyefficient.💡
New page on our website to help Kent #VillageHalls through the #EnergyCrisis, containing free guides, help & advice to improve your community building's energy #efficiency. Includes #WarmSpace support, #funding ideas & energy advice from @UtilityAid.

After successful bids for local & national funds (including @ACRE_national & @TNLComFund) Frittenden Memorial Hall now has a new meeting room, kitchen facilities, refurbished toilets, & stage with performance equipment! Great to see what happens when a community pulls together!

🚨 NEW: Over 60 charities have come together to write to the new Prime Minister @RishiSunak, demanding more support for the 7 million UK households currently in #fuelpoverty.
