Cosy Homes in Lancashire and Green Rose CIC join forces for The Great Big Green Week 2025

Running from 7th to 15th June, the initiative brings people together to take positive, practical steps for a greener future.

As part of this nationwide campaign, CHiL and Green Rose will be hosting and exhibiting at events across Lancashire, offering free, practical advice on how to make homes warmer, greener, and more energy efficient. Local residents are encouraged to drop in, ask questions, and get personalised guidance on Solar panels and renewable energy, heat pumps and low-carbon heating, insulation and draught-proofing, electric vehicles and charging at home, smart energy tariffs and reducing bills and even simple lifestyle changes for greener living.

Andrea Howe, Energy Efficiency & Affordable Warmth Officer at Blackpool Council responsible for the campaign said: “We’re here to make going green simple and accessible for everyone. Whether you're a homeowner, renter or just curious about greener living and how you can make changes towards having a warmer home, we’re happy to chat, answer questions, and offer support.”

Residents can also sign up for the ‘Little Van of Warm’ service, a free home energy advice visit that includes the installation of small energy-saving measures helping households stay cosy and cut costs during colder months.
