Transition Chesterfield are running their annual abundance campaign to pick fruit that would otherwise go to waste. Some goes to the owners, some is shared amongst those who pick it, some is used for juicing at events, and some goes to those who need it: lunch clubs and soup kitchens.
If you would like to get involved email your mobile phone no to hello@transitionchesterfield.org.uk and they will text you a couple of days before each picking event. Adding yourself to this list doesn’t commit you to getting involved.
Heating oil users are being urged to save money by stocking up early before winter in a new campaign backed by Rural Community Action Nottinghamshire (RCAN).
Our Fantastic Home vehicle tours Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire offering advice on domestic energy efficiency and renewable energy. We also give away free energy and water saving items and offer interactive elements – a bike people can pedal to see how much energy they can generate, a giant game of low carbon snakes and ladders, and samples of products such as insulation.
SuperHome Open Days this September let you get the inside story on some exceptional home improvement projects. Superhomes are older homes refurbished by their owners to be amongst the most energy efficient older homes in the UK. In every SuperHome you can learn about a range of installed technologies. Tours and Q&A sessions let you quiz the owners on specifics. You’ll discover what worked and get frank feedback on anything that didn’t. If your goal is increased home comfort, reduced energy bills or a smaller carbon footprint, a visit is sure to inspire.
Entry is free. Book now at: www.superhomes.org.uk
