Energy crisis star

Energy Clinic

With the energy crisis making everyone aware of the cost of energy and plunging many people into severe financial problems, WREN has started up an 'Energy Clinic'. Every 1st and 3rd Wednesday, from 10am to 1pm, you'll find us in the John Betjeman Centre, Southern Way, Wadebridge,  We've teamed up with partners, especially Community Energy Plus, to offer a range of information and advice. Just drop in to see us and we'll do our best to help.
