Helping those who need it most
Our growing network of energy champions is out in communities across Surrey, sharing advice, fitting energy-saving measures and linking residents to trusted local support. In the first year alone, we engaged over 1,000 people, distributed thousands of pounds’ worth of energy-saving equipment and built partnerships with charities across the county.

Real results, real impact
Since April 2024 we have attended over 70 talks and events, given advice to over 1100 residents and carried out more than 150 in-depth home visits. We’ve referred residents to grants schemes, given out energy saving measures like draught-proofing and radiator panels, and helped people tackle damp and mould with ventilation and dehumidifiers.
