  • Parents, guardians and/or carers (where your dependent lives at home with you)

Green Panel

Help make a difference and save the planet

We want to hear from you!

Did you know that homes cause 25% of carbon emissions?

We’ve set ambitious targets to improve the energy efficiency of our homes and make them more sustainable, which should also reduce heating bills and improve their warmth and comfort for residents.

Who are we

The green panel is a panel of residents who work with us on our energy efficiency programme to make homes more energy efficient and ensure we’re doing our bit in the drive for a more sustainable future and help us save the planet!

We meet four times a year and are very keen to increase membership and hear more voices.
