Want lower energy bills? Let collective buying power do the work for you.

Energy bills can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate tariff switching alone! Switch Together helps local households secure competitive energy tariffs through collective buying.

If you do switch, you’ll get electricity from renewable sources. Good for your bank account and good for the planet.

Sustainable September is back! With recent record heatwaves and droughts, taking climate action has never been more important.

In Kingston, we know that around 37% of climate changing emissions are generated by petrol and diesel vehicles, and around 35% come from the fossil fuels heating and powering the borough’s homes and buildings.

The good news? We can all help to lower these numbers.

Throughout September we’ll be sharing tips and information to help everyone take climate action, together creating a greener Kingston.

There are also some fantastic community events lined up, which are free to attend and open to all!

Visit www.kingston.gov.uk/september to find out more.
