Top ten tips on staying warm and healthy this winter.

After attending a recent workshop on fuel poverty I have links to some really useful information for anybody regardless of if they are in fuel poverty or not. The first is top-10-tips-to-stay-warm-and-healthy which includes information on warm home discounts, simple energy saving tips and where to find out about local schemes for free/discounted boilers and insulation.

The second is local information provided by the council on local  services available such as better homes Kirklees which can help with improvements such as insulation and central heating systems and Mears home improvements which offer free gas services and repairs (subject to receiving certain benefits). Click here for more details.
