Outreach Events
@Swansea Spaces
Swansea Spaces provide safe, warm and welcoming places within communities across Swansea, where people could go to for a hot beverage, a cosy spot to sit, and find social connections and local support. Our team makes monthly visits to these spaces which include warm hubs, local support hubs, men’s sheds, community craft groups, local libraries, etc, ready to talk to anyone who requires further clarification and/or guidance with any energy-related matter.
@Together at Christmas
This is a free event bringing together Christmas cheer, entertainment and several support services such as a food bank and clothing bank under one umbrella at Brangwyn Hall for the vulnerable, lonely, or homeless members of the community. The event is planned in collaboration with Swansea Council and other sponsors and offers outreach programs to assist individuals in need. We’re one of the organisations attending, providing energy saving measures such as our warm packs which includes draught excluders, energy saving light bulbs, radiator keys, and timer plugs.

@One Stop Info Shop
A collaboration between the 'Collaboration Station', Swansea City Council and the National Waterfront Museum, the One Stop Info Shop is a free drop in event with 30+ information stands, happening on the first Monday of every month at the National Waterfront Museum. We attend it regularly and are usually seated in the Colonnade, near the Ocean Room.
Heat Pump Talk
Curious about how heat pumps work and whether one is right for your home?
This informative session breaks down the basics of heat pump technology, the different types available (air-source, ground-source, and hybrid), and what they can mean for your energy bills and carbon footprint. We also cover typical costs, grants, and practical considerations for installation. Whether you're a homeowner, landlord, or just curious about low-carbon heating options, this session will give you the essential info you need.
