A Community First Yorkshire event
Community Buildings Network Meeting
The energy crisis continues to impact domestic and commercial bill payers. As we enter into spring there seems to be little light on the horizon as fuel costs remain high. Our May Community Buildings Network meeting hopes to tackle some of the confusion around unit costs and standard daily charges. There will also be some advice and myth busting around the best ways to save money in your homes and businesses.
The on-going cost of living crisis is affecting all areas and walks of life. Representatives from Utility Aid will be joining us to present the most up to date information regarding utility contracts and how to negotiate with your provider. They will also be exploring ways to help you save money and plan ahead during this uncertain time.
During the second half of the meeting there will be an opportunity to discuss any issues you are currently facing with other community building and village hall trustees and Community First Yorkshire development officers.
Please note that this is a virtual network meeting, which will be held via Zoom.
If you would prefer a day time event, we are also hosting the same Network event at 10-11.30am on Tuesday 16 May.
