Let the Green Team cut your energy bills

Healthy ‘n’ Happy is offering residents of Cambuslang and Rutherglen help to reduce the amount of energy (gas and electricity) they are using and help them heat their homes.

Now winter is here it is all too common for people to struggle with paying their fuel bills or heating their home.

The Green Team, a new initiative funded by Climate Challenge Fund, aims to advise local residents on how some simple behavioural changes can make a significant impact especially through the colder months.
