Why are we here? • We know that many of our clubs run hand to mouth, and are working their hardest just to break even. • Centrica recently stated that Gas prices will be 15% higher this winter than last winter. • 60% of UK electricity comes from Gas fired power stations and so Electricity prices are likely to rise as well. • This project has the potential to help hundreds of clubs - freeing up some of the money they spend on energy bills to spend on the things that really matter, like new equipment, coaches and facilities.
