Fantastic Home Tours Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire

Our mobile Fantastic Home vehicle and Energy Advisors have been busy over the last month visiting four summer events (sometimes braving the rain!) and giving out lots of advice on energy efficiency, fuel poverty and tackling climate change.

We've:

• Spoken to 159 people
• Given out freebies worth more than £300 which will save an estimated £9440 on utility bills, 7254kg of CO² and 3,458,298ltr of water.

We've spoken to people about everything from how to switch energy supplier and getting heating oil from a bulk purchase scheme to how to install solid wall insulation on older homes and get solar panels.

Dozens of children (and grown ups who like bikes!) have tested their ability to produce energy by pedalling our WattBike and taken away our children's games sheets.

Photos from top to bottom: Seeing how much energy power pedal can produce at Beeston Carnival; the Festival of Leisure in Swadlincote, Peter all ready to offer advice at the Derbyshire Eco Centre Spring Fair near Wirksworth; the WattBike puts some local firefighters through their paces at Misterton Social Club Gala.
