Community Action Wirral’s bid to be crowned champions in a national competition designed to help community groups and individuals take control of their energy bills is almost over.
The Big Energy Race has seen teams from across Britain competing against one another to reduce their bills by completing fun and practical energy reduction challenges.
Community Action Wirral – as part of Cool Wirral – have so far completed 1440 challenges, were Team of the Week, and currently stand 2nd in our region and 3rd nationally.
In a bid to increase the team’s (pictured above) chances of success, Community Action Wirral also received some personal training from Energy Projects Plus.
