Under the new energy price cap, average energy bills will be £1,568 a year - a reduction of 7% compared to the previous price cap. That's good news, right? Except that standing charges will increase by 10%. And, despite these lower prices, typical bills will still be almost 30% higher than in winter 2021-22.

Moreover, an average can be misleading, because energy bills depend on a range of factors, such as how many people are in the household, how old the building is, and what tariff the bill-payer is on. So it's important, in an ever-changing energy market, for consumers to understand how they can save on energy costs.

Recognising our previous experience in this area, CAN has been commissioned by Citizens Advice to help deliver their Energy Outreach Project. We'll be delivering free, in-person and on-line awareness and training sessions for two audiences:

You - the "consumer"

You can find out how to be more energy efficient and reduce the cost-of-living impact by making small changes in the home. Sessions can be followed by one-to-one support to go through your annual statement and talk about your options.

Professionals and Volunteers

If you work with people who are affected by the cost-of-living crisis but don't know what support and advice is available - this is for you. Find out about how they can make changes at home, and where you can gain reliable advice. As above, we can offer one-to-one advice if needed.

If your group or organisation would like a session for your staff and / or volunteers, please email steve.nunn@communityactionnorfolk.org.uk or call 01362 545024. Most sessions will take place on Mondays or Tuesdays and we can, if preferred, deliver in an evening.

Anyone in a management or leadership position in the Voluntary, Community & Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector across Norfolk is warmly invited to join our relaunched VCSE Leadership Network (previously VCSE Leaders' Voice Network) delivered by the Empowering Communities Partnership.
What is the VCSE Leadership Network?
This Network supports those in leadership roles within Norfolk's VCSE sector by creating a space for relationships to develop and experiences to be shared, providing peer support which informs and strengthens collective influencing.

Last summer the Empowering Communities Partnership collected feedback from sector colleagues on the Network, its value, aims and purpose. Common themes that emerged were listening and discussing, influencing, and connecting with other VCSEs and stakeholders.
What will the meeting involve?
This session is themed 'Collective Influencing to Effect Change', recognising that the sector represents a wealth of experience, expertise and innovative ideas which could be leveraged to influence policy locally, regionally and nationally. However, many local leaders find it difficult to know where to start with campaigning, or are unsure how to come together to strengthen their influencing power.

In this session we will welcome a speaker from the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) who will share their work to develop an election manifesto on behalf of the charity sector. The manifesto will present a range of ways the next government can work with non-profits to make a positive difference. NCVO want to ensure the manifesto truly represents the views, priorities and challenges of VCSEs, so are seeking feedback nationwide. Following NCVO's presentation, we'll invite you to share your thoughts on the key issues affecting Norfolk VCSEs and the communities we support. We'll aim to capture your feedback on the manifesto and submit this to NCVO in order to ensure the voices of Norfolk's non-profits are heard.

We will also hear from organisations who have led successful campaigns to effect change at a local level. Ruth Stokes, Campaigns Lead at Norfolk Community Advice Network (NCAN), will lead a breakout session on Demystifying Campaigns, and Empowering Communities partners will facilitate a discussion about collaborating locally on the pressing topics affecting the sector.
How will the event run?
The first part of the session (3-4pm) will be available to join online as well as in-person (hybrid), with the following hour (4-5pm) providing a face to face opportunity for sharing ideas, connecting and networking.

Please indicate when booking whether you will be joining in-person or online. Do get in touch if you have any questions about this via enquiries@ecnorfolk.org.uk
Other useful information
The session will be held in The Gallery at the Forum, Norwich and online via Teams.

The Gallery is on the Ground Floor and is fully accessible by wheelchair.

There is paid parking at The Forum, plus several bus stops are a short walk away. Norwich bus station is approximately 5 minutes walk away. We encourage you to lift share or travel via public transport where possible.
