Getting best value for money from your gas and electricity will be discussed during Citizen's Advice Hammersmith and Fulham's Big Energy Saving week.

The charity is hosting a number of events within the borough as well as in Kensington and Chelsea.

It is part of a national Big Energy Saving Week, which runs from October 31 to November 6.

The campaign aims to help people cut their energy costs by following a three-step rule - check, switch and save.

The roadshows take place at:

  • October 31, 10am-1pm: 338 Uxbridge Road, London, W12 7LL 10-1
  • October 31, 1pm-3pm: Cheyne Children Centre, 10 Thorndike Close, London, SW10 0ST
  • November 1, 10am-4pm: Avonmore Library, 7 North End Crescent, London, W14 8TG
  • November 3, midday-3pm : Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre, 244 Acklam Rd, London W10 5YG
  • November 4, 1.30pm-3pm: Avonmore Library, 7 North End Crescent, London, W14 8TG

People can learn about making their home more energy efficient, for example by getting cavity wall insulation, draught excluders or double glazing.

Advisers will also be suggesting how to avoid using extra energy by not leaving the TV on standby or leaving lights on.

Simi Ryatt, CEO of Citizens Advice Hammersmith and Fulham, said: “Checking your energy tariff and switching to a cheaper deal is one of the quickest and easiest ways to cut your bills.

“Big Energy Saving Week is a great opportunity to get expert advice on how you can make savings before winter starts, from changing energy supplier to insulating your home.

“We would urge everyone to come down to the event, use our price comparison tool or contact our service for advice so they can start making savings.”
