Green Wokingham workshop

Wokingham Community and voluntary groups, as well as town and parish councils, can get free advice on making their buildings more energy efficient at a workshop being held in the Wokingham borough.

Wokingham Borough Council is hosting the workshop, entitled How Green is Your Community Building? with the Community Council for Berkshire and Thames Valley Energy.

It will offer expert advice on how Wokingham community buildings could be made more environmentally efficient, on possible uses for renewable energy and on grant funding that may be available for community and not-for-profit groups to become more environmentally friendly. Particular focus will be given to how becoming more energy efficient can save organisations money.

The workshop will be at the Wokingham Borough Council’s Shute End offices from 7.30pm to 9am on Monday May 12.

Wokingham Borough Council income generation officer Alison Munro said: “Becoming more energy efficient is not just good for the environment, but also saves money – which is very useful for community groups and not-for-profit organisations.”

The event is free but places are limited and to book, or for more information, contact Wendy Dacey at the Community Council for Berkshire on 0118 961 2000 or email wendy.dacey@ccberks.org.uk or Wokingham Borough Council income generation officer Alison Munro on 0118 974 6043 or email alison.munro@wokingham.gov.uk.
