Walsall Council is championing Big Energy Saving Week (17–23 January) by hosting a series of free, drop-in sessions offering climate and energy support. Residents are invited to visit the Bloxwich Launchpad (WS3 2JF) from Monday 19 to Wednesday 21 January, between 9 am and 1 pm.
The sessions are designed to help residents tackle rising energy costs and improve home efficiency. They are delivered by the Walsall Energy Action Project (WEAP) a partnership between Walsall Council and the voluntary community sector, funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.
