With Autumn in full swing and Winter fast approaching CCB is encouraging people to stay warm and heathy in their homes, we have made available two free, practical guides to help rural communities keep warm and cut bills this winter.
The Energy Efficiency and Affordable Warmth community guides have been produced by CCB's national body, Action with Communities in Rural England (ACRE), in partnership with Calor Gas.
The Energy Efficiency guide explains how families can make simple changes at home – such as insulation, draught-proofing, and low energy lightbulbs –to reduce bills.
The Affordable Warmth guide focuses on how communities can help households to stay warm and avoid falling into fuel poverty. It explains how the most vulnerable households can get help from the Government towards their heating bills.

One of the solutions recommended in the guide is the bulk buying of heating oil, for those homes that heat their properties with oil. CCB runs an oil-buying scheme called the CCB Oil Club which helps members save money on heating their home. Last month we got a price of £0.5395 ppl which was 5 pence per litre less than the average of £0.59ppl (all prices + 5% VAT). Our next ordering deadline is 31st October for delivery in November.
