Want to save money on the cost of your heating oil? So do we!

Local charity Community Council for Berkshire (CCB) manages an oil club to provide a way to save money on fuel costs for individuals, community buildings or businesses in rural areas that have to heat their property with oil. The CCB Oil Club was established in 2012 and takes on the organisation of bulk buying fuel oil and the negotiation of the best price, reducing the cost for members and the time spent on sourcing oil.

 

By bringing communities throughout the county of Berkshire together and making the most of collective purchasing power, this scheme can make significant savings and pass them directly to you. The CCB Oil Club additionally benefits the environment by cutting down the number of tanker journeys made. By planning deliveries to minimise the use of tankers – especially in rural areas, the CCB Oil Club brings oil to many addresses in the same area at the same time.

 

All you need to do to take advantage of the scheme is to pay an annual membership fee, from as little as £24*, which will cover as many orders as you need during the year. The membership charge goes towards covering the administrative costs of running the projects. Any surplus from the CCB Oil Club will go directly towards supporting CCB’s charitable work.

 

CCB own the oil club but all communications and the administration are conducted by Oil Fuel Poverty Solutions (OFPS). OFPS was created to work with Rural Community Councils and Charities like CCB to manage, support and create buying groups and to raise issues experienced by rural oil users.
