For our second year, we are delivering interactive, engaging workshops through Wirral Council’s Lifelong Learning provision for adults. Our workshops are focussed on teaching learners new skills to reduce their household energy use, and encouraging them to both continue their learning and to pass on their newfound knowledge to family, friends and neighbours.
Our courses are usually delivered at the venue of a host organisation, to our host’s members/tenants/clients/etc. If you deliver services from a suitable venue in one of the following areas, please contact melanie.nolan@epplus.org to discuss booking in one or more workshops at a time and date that suits you:

- Leasowe / Moreton / Woodchurch
- Town Lane, Bebington / Fishers Lane Pensby / Gilroy Rd West Kirby.
