What we do

• We are an independent, UK-based organisation focused on promoting action that leads to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions - a key contributor to man-made climate change.

• We are the source of free advice and information for people across the UK looking to save energy, conserve water and reduce waste.

• We are impartial, and not tied to any particular commercial organisations or driven by political or corporate motivations.

• We work with like minded organisations and groups who wish to tackle climate change, both in the public and private sector.

• We have teams based in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, whilst in England we have a regional structure. This approach allows us to deliver UK-wide programmes on a country and regional basis, as well as country-specific programmes in each of the individual nations in the UK. It means we are able to offer people help tailored to their home type, circumstances and household budget. We direct people to the right grants to make change happen, from cavity walls, to loft insulation and installing more renewable energy sources.

• We are funded by the UK government, devolved governments and the private sector.

What is our purpose?
To help reduce carbon dioxide emissions through by being helping people to use energy more efficiently, conserve water, reduce waste and make renewable energy sources more accessible. We also help people choose greener ways of travel at home and at work. We have a range of advice services - delivered on a local level - which provide practical solutions to environmental issues with enthusiasm and passion.
