With the warmer weather here, energy bills are probably not at the top of anyone's worry list right now — and that's completely understandable! But recent announcements of further price increases mean it's worth getting ahead of things while there's no immediate pressure.

Choosing between heating and eating is a reality for far too many people, and that pressure will return as the seasons change. That's why we want to share the HEAT service from The Wise Group — a free, fully funded programme that sends a dedicated energy mentor to your door (or supports you remotely) to help get your energy situation under control.

Last year alone, HEAT supported over 23,000 households and helped reduce £371,000 in fuel debt by negotiating directly with energy suppliers. They can help with everything from cutting bills to accessing emergency vouchers.

Getting advice now could make a real difference come autumn and winter.

We've also shared their handy tips flyer — packed with simple, practical ways to reduce your energy use at home right now, from washing clothes at lower temperatures to making the most of your boiler timer. Small changes that can make a real difference to your bills! 💡

Nigel is one of our true gems at Devon & Cornwall Food Action. After a successful career, he’s chosen to keep giving back to the community he cares about—playing a key role in getting our HACCP facility up and running. His dedication, skill, and heart make a real difference every single week. We’re incredibly grateful and privileged to have him on the team.

Food waste tip for May 🥬☀️

As we head into summer, lighter meals are back on the menu — and an odds & ends salad bowl is one of the easiest ways to use up what you already have.
Throw together:
🥬 softer leaves
🥕 leftover veg
🌾 grains or beans
Finish with a quick dressing and toss.
Best made and eaten fresh — not one for the fridge later ❌
Save this for later and share with someone who hates waste. ♻️
