What would a community-led energy future for Kirklees look like?

The Energy Neighbours Annual Conference is an opportunity for local organisations and community voices to come together, connect and influence the future of energy support, climate action and community resilience in our area.

We know communities hold the knowledge, relationships and lived experience needed to create real change.

Join us to:

✨ Share your experiences

✨ Build new partnerships

✨ Explore practical solutions

✨ Help shape future priorities for Kirklees

A stronger energy future starts with community voices being heard.

Communities are stronger when neighbours support neighbours. 💚

Energy Neighbours is recruiting Community Connectors — local volunteers who help residents access support, save energy and stay connected.

This is a people-focused volunteering role for anyone who:

✨ Enjoys meeting people

✨ Wants to give something back

✨ Cares about their local community

✨ Wants to help tackle fuel poverty and isolation

You’ll support community events, share simple advice and help create welcoming spaces where people feel listened to and supported.

📍 Across Kirklees

⏰ Flexible 2–3 hour sessions

🤝 Full support provided

Small conversations can make a big difference.

Celebrating the Launch of the Energy Neighbours Booklet 🎉

On Monday 27th April, we marked the launch of the Energy Neighbours booklet at Brighton Street Community Centre in Heckmondwike.

The booklet came out of a series of community sessions with the Khooshi Women’s Group — starting with honest conversations about rising energy costs and sharing practical ways to save at home. Those discussions shaped everything you see in the booklet.

A big thank you to John, the illustrator, who worked closely with the group to bring their voices and ideas to life, with support from Creative Scene.

The sessions were delivered by Energy Neighbours (TSL Kirklees) in partnership with Ravensthorpe Community Centre’s Community Champions — special thanks to Noreen, Noreela, and our community worker Habiban for supporting participants throughout.

The launch was a lovely chance to come together, reflect, and celebrate — with a relaxed morning and a much-enjoyed desi breakfast 🍳

You can see more of John’s work here: http://www.rocketsteps.co.uk/

Thanks to everyone who contributed and joined us on the day 💛

COMET — Community Organisations Making Energy Transitions

Energy Neighbours is starting a new network for Community Organisations Making Energy Transitions (COMET).

COMET is for any community organisation interested in reducing energy use, improving sustainability, or exploring greener ways of working.

This includes:

Community groups
Charities
Social enterprises
Faith organisations
Cultural organisations
Community businesses

Whether you run or own a building, use shared spaces, or are just starting to think about sustainability — this network is for you.

You may already be making changes, or simply wondering where to begin — COMET is about sharing learning, building connections, and exploring what energy transition could mean for your organisation.

If you’d like to know more about the network and what it could mean for you, please fill in the survey.

⚡ Big news for community buildings ⚡

Did you know the UK government has committed up to £1 billion to support community energy projects?

This could mean real opportunities for community buildings – from installing solar panels to generating your own clean energy and cutting energy bills.

The investment is designed to help communities own and benefit from local energy, with funding, advice and support to get projects off the ground.

For community centres, village halls, places of worship and more, this could unlock:
🔋 Lower running costs
🌱 New income streams
🏡 More sustainable, resilient buildings
