Community Action Norfolk (CAN) are offering FREE online energy advice and awareness sessions:

Rapidly rising energy costs, combined with the coldest months of winter, are a major worry for almost everyone. Factoring in the continuing COVID pandemic, with many people still needing to isolate at home, means that energy usage is also high.

If you or your beneficiaries are worried about energy bills, why not come along to one of their FREE online energy advice and awareness sessions?

The content covers:

• how and where to get help and support with energy bills
• how to save on energy use in the home
• understanding fuel poverty
• switching energy supplier (updated advice in light of the present volatile market)

Sessions currently planned:

• Tuesday 1 February from 12 noon-1pm
• Monday 7 February from 12 noon-1pm
• Tuesday 8 February from 12 noon-1pm
• Monday 14 February from 12 noon-1pm

Over the past weekend the Government has issued their response to the Glover Report on English National Parks which includes “The Broads”.

There is a fairly straight forward online Consultation but it is necessary to read the report first.  The Consultation closes on Saturday 9^th April.    The main link is below:

For those who would like a taster this is the official Press Release:

The Broads Society, a registered Charity who for the past 50 years has worked endlessly to preserve all aspects of the Broads for the future, would very much appreciate input from individuals to submit their thoughts to the Consultation.
