Save Money, Stay Warm, Go Green

Soaring world energy prices and the failures of successive UK governments mean that many people across Britain are facing a tough winter.

That’s why we need Liberal Democrat activists across Britain to join our campaign to help people in local communities save money, stay warm and go green.

Taking Britain forward

The Liberal Democrats in Government are fighting to tackle the dreadful legacy of failures on housing and fuel poverty.

Millions of British homes are cold, draughty and expensive to heat – hitting everyone in the pocket and putting the vulnerable at risk. Every year, tens of thousands of people in Britain die because they couldn’t keep warm in winter. Many more become ill, placing a major strain on their families and the NHS.

The Liberal Democrats are also driving forward real action on renewable energy generation to ensure Britain becomes less reliant on dirty, expensive fossil fuels.

Free and discount insulation available

We’ve forced energy companies to spend more on insulating some of Britain’s draughtiest and coldest homes - helping 3 million householders by the end of 2012. In October 2012, the Lib Dem Green Deal will start - creating over 100,000 jobs and helping millions of people insulate their homes at NO COST to themselves.

Help for pensioners

The new Lib Dem Warm Homes Discount will give an extra £120 each year to the least well off pensioners to keep warm this winter. That’s on top of the £4.50 a week pension rise that all pensioners received in April.

The Save Money, Stay Warm and Go Green Campaign

Please spread the word on the actions the Lib Dems are taking in government to help people save money, stay warm and go green.

The first stage of the campaign has 3 goals:

1. To help increase awareness and take up of energy saving insulation schemes
2. To make sure older people are getting the help they need to keep warm this winter
3. To give everyone practical advice to save money, stay warm and go green
