High Peak CVS is looking for volunteers for a project helping vulnerable people in the High Peak to save money on their energy bills.

The project is part of a national government-funded programme running through this Autumn and Winter called the Big Energy Saving Network.

Their brief is to provide outreach workshops, surgeries, 1-1 help and staff/volunteer training to help people switch and / or apply for energy-related benefits and generally save money on their energy bills.

The target audiences include a wide range of people (and support agencies) including those who are ‘off gas grid’ and ‘living in hard-to-heat homes such as solid-wall homes’.

They are looking for people who like talking to and helping people, and who have at least a little experience of using the internet.

You don’t need to have any energy-related knowledge as relevant training will be provided, nor will you be asked to lead workshops or training sessions unless you would like to.

If you are interested in getting involved or would like to find out more, please contact Esther Jones at High Peak CVS via 01663 736 429 or esther@highpeakcvs.org.uk as soon as possible.
