Iain joins the existing Energy Neighbours Community Workers, who are already out and about in their respective patches, building connections:
- David Ennis – Community Worker – North Huddersfield
- Evie Whittingham – Community Worker – South Huddersfield

In addition, we’ve also launched an Energy Neighbours Facebook Group where both local people and groups can get together to talk about the Energy Neighbours project and share ideas and info. The group is private, and can be accessed via the TSL Kirklees Facebook page. (You will need to ask to join.)
Thanks to National Lottery players, Third Sector Leaders Kirklees has received more than £900,000 from The National Lottery Community Fund, the largest community funder in the UK, to empower local people to take individual and collective climate action and reduce fuel poverty in their community.
