JOIN THE MOVEMENT
BECOME A MEMBER
OR AN ENERGY CHAMPION.
What’s the difference?
Energy Champions are anchors in their local community who help to spread energy advice and are passionate about making improvements in their own home—they act as examples and role models for our energy workshops and advice sessions. The role is really what you make it. Whether you want to share your own home improvements on a blog or come along as a volunteer at local events. Does this sound like you? Use our form to register your interest and sign up for our newsletter!
Members are part of a dynamic network working to build an energy system that works for everyone. As a member, you'll receive support for energy-related projects, free training to help run your group or project effectively, and access to shared resources like our energy bike and stall materials. You'll also have opportunities to share skills and connect with like-minded people, add your voice to our collective push for change, and stay informed through regular newsletters and events.
Membership is free and open to anyone in Bristol and the surrounding area with an active interest in energy issues.
