If the recent snowfalls have indicated that your home needs more insulation, you may like to seek advice from the Northfield Ecocentre.

The official opening is on March 20th but committee members and the two part-time co-ordinators, Dave and Georgia, have begun their work with the community, to find practical ways to live better and protect the environment.

At the Ecocentre homeowners, businesses and tenants can receive advice, information and support to help cut energy consumption, carbon emissions - and SAVE MONEY.

If you can't wait until 20th March to see the building, there are two public preview sessions. These are drop in sessions, so come for 5 minutes or the full 3 hours.

The dates for the public previews are:
Saturday 28th February, 10am to 1pm
Thursday 5th March, 3pm to 6pm
The address is Northfield Ecocentre, 53 Church Road, Birmingham B31 2LB
