Residents in Esher and across Elmbridge are being invited to come together for an energy awareness and fuel poverty event, delivered in partnership Energy Manage, Lower Green Community Centre and Elmbridge Borough Council.
With household budgets continuing to face pressure, keeping a home warm, comfortable and energy efficient can make a real difference. The event will provide a friendly, accessible opportunity for local residents to find out what support is available, discover practical ways to reduce energy use and get advice on tackling the rising cost of keeping a home warm.
Fuel poverty can affect people from all walks of life. For some households, the choice between heating the home and paying for other essentials can be a very real concern.
Practical advice, local support and real solutions
The event will focus on practical help and visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about:
- Simple ways to reduce energy consumption and household bills
- How to make a home warmer and more energy efficient
- Support that may be available for households struggling with energy costs
- Help with energy debts
- Grants and energy-efficiency schemes
- Energy efficiency measures
- Help with insulation and reducing heat loss
- Understanding energy tariffs and getting the best from your energy supply
- Where to turn for further advice and support
This is particularly important for households on lower incomes, older residents and people who may be vulnerable to the effects of living in a cold home. Elmbridge Borough Council highlights a range of support available to residents, including information on energy-saving improvements and help with energy bills.
Working together for Elmbridge
The partnership with Elmbridge Borough Council and Lower Green Community Centrereflects the importance of bringing local organisations, advisers and the community together to help tackle fuel poverty.
By creating a space where residents can ask questions, access information and speak directly to people who can help, the event aims to turn awareness into action.
Small changes can make a big difference
Energy efficiency does not always mean expensive home improvements. Sometimes, understanding where energy is being used and making a few simple changes can help households take greater control of their bills.
For households that need more substantial support, there are also be opportunities to explore insulation and other energy-efficiency improvements, depending on eligibility and the property involved.
Come along, ask questions and find out what help is available
Whether you are worried about your energy bills, interested in making your home more efficient, supporting a family member or simply want to learn more about saving energy, everyone is welcome.
The event is about more than saving energy. It is about helping local people feel informed, supported and confident about the choices they can make in their own homes.
Join us at The Lower Green Community Centre on Wednesday 25th November 2026 between 11.30am – 2.30pm and discover how the right advice and local support can help create warmer homes, lower bills and a stronger, more sustainable Elmbridge.
