Free advice on cutting energy bills

During its ‘Big Energy Week’, the charity is extending its opening hours, handing out leaflets detailing ways to cut fuel bills and launching a new website.

Martin Webb, who manages advice services at the Hamilton Terrace bureau, said: “More and more people are coming to us for advice on how to spend less on their fuel bills. While we continue to help people on a daily basis with face-to-face advice, there is a real need to reach out to more people who are struggling and Big Energy Week will be a chance for us to do just that.”

The week runs from Monday until Saturday (January 16 to 21), when opening hours will be extended to 1pm to 7pm on Monday and from 10am to 3.30pm from Wednesday to Friday.

The CAB is also continuing to run ‘managing your money’ courses for help with budgeting, banking and credit. To find out more call 0844 855 2322.
