Our Energy volunteers run regular Energy Cafes in Ilford. These offer an informal, friendly way to give energy saving advice to people struggling with fuel bills. People can talk about their issues and be offered information on:

• Taking simple actions to make their home more energy efficient
• Saving energy and money by changing their fuel tariff or supplier 
• Financial help they may be eligible to get

The Energy Volunteers provide guidance and advice, supported by a trained Energy Advisor.

As well as a regular slot in the Library, the team of volunteers are keen to run Energy Cafes in venues in Ilford, for example at Food Banks, places of worship and community centres, in fact, anywhere people gather. If you would like to invite the cafe to your venue, then contact us by email: energycafe@transitionilford.org.uk

Feedback: ‘You’re very easy to talk to, made me aware of things I didn’t even think of. Very useful – it has helped me. Thank you for the lightbulb.’ Terry James, Sept 2025
