Energy Workshops

Our free online energy workshops enable older people to get a better understanding of their household energy use, supporting them to stay warm and save money on their bills, and helping them to be prepared if they experience a powercut.

Our community workshops are free to attend, and provide useful information for older people and those who support them. 

You can take part in our workshops by using the free Zoom app. All you need is a laptop, computer, tablet or smartphone, and an internet connection. We do the rest!

If after the workshop you would like advice specific to your situation, we can arrange a phone call with one of our helpline energy advisers.

This training is funded by SGN through a partnership aimed at helping more older people across Scotland to access to the support that is available to them.
