Low Carbon Living Sessions: Testimonials

The sessions helped staff be able to have more informed conversations with those we support around types of heating and reducing energy costs. A lot of us also didn’t know about the priority services register so that was really helpful to know and share with our members. Staff were also able to take information away to help with energy saving in their own homes.

The fact the sessions are only 30 minutes were really appealing to staff – whilst we only had a short time together, a lot was packed into the session!

The sessions were very easy to arrange
I would definitely recommend these sessions to others!

The training helped raise awareness and understanding across our team. Staff gained practical insights into how our organisation can reduce its carbon footprint and make more sustainable choices. It also encouraged greater engagement and discussion around environmental responsibility, which supports our wider sustainability goals. Lesley was so informative.

The training was very straightforward to arrange. Communication with Jessica was clear, and the booking process was very simple. The flexibility in scheduling and the support provided made it easy to coordinate attendance around our staff’s busy diaries.

The sessions were informative, well-structured, and relevant for any organisation looking to better understand and contribute to saving energy in the office and at home. It’s an excellent opportunity to build knowledge and inspire practical action within the workplace/home.

Lesley was a fantastic trainer! It’s a great opportunity for any organisation looking to build awareness and take practical steps towards saving energy.

It was great to welcome Changeworks to the Hub to offer staff at Edinburgh International Festival information on Low Carbon Technologies and energy use. The session was very easy to arrange, came at no cost to us and was condensed enough to fit in with the busy staff schedules.

Attendees were provided with the basic knowledge necessary to understand energy usage at home, identifies the small changes we can make to save money now and explored how we can embrace new technologies and reduce emissions.

We were delighted to be able to offer our people the opportunity to attend the Low Carbon Living sessions from Changeworks. Setting up the sessions was really simple, all dates, booking links and promotional resources were provided so all we had to do was post them out on our intranet and communication channels.

At no cost to our company or employees these sessions are highly recommended. Feedback received from one attendee: “Very informative, I got a few tips and I think especially for people dealing with customers it was super helpful”.

Changeworks came to ACS to provide face-to-face training for our staff, with practical steps they could take at home to reduce their carbon production and save money.

By showing staff members techniques for saving energy and money, this will improve our staff’s standard of living and show them the value of energy saving, which can then be applied at work. The sessions were very easy to organise and I would recommend them to other employers.

This is of value to every organisation and employee, a great package which deserves the widest audience – everyone will take something different from it, a one stop shop for energy saving advice.

[The session] was very informative, and even if some of the group were already aware of some of the help available, it was a great reminder to everyone and to make them aware of what they can do if they are having energy problems.

We were delighted to have the Changeworks along to the Edinburgh Remakery as part of our ongoing staff development training sessions. The session enabled staff to explore energy saving techniques and to gain understanding of the various renewable energy solutions available.

The course was easy to arrange and the team at Changeworks were able to answer questions our staff had around energy saving tips.

The staff who attended the face-to-face sessions appeared to gain a great deal from them, as evidenced by the high level of engagement during the sessions and the follow-up conversations with several individuals afterwards.

Overall, it seemed that there was something valuable for all participants to take away from the experience.

The Low Carbon Living session was a wonderful, snappy summary of how small differences in our homes and behaviour can save us money on our energy bills, reduce carbon emissions and lead to warmer and healthier homes. Changework’s organisation ensured the session was really easy to book and our staff walked away with some really helpful resources. I would recommend to any business looking to start a conversation around carbon, housing and fuel poverty.

Thank you very much for organising the session for today – Neil and Valerie were fantastic; the group were very pleased and got a lot out of their visit. Please pass on our thanks and appreciation again to them both! Our attendees are feeling more supported and know where they can turn if they need advice and support, giving them confidence to ask questions and to access resources they were not aware of that could benefit them.

Changeworks delivered a clear, practical introduction to low‑carbon living, with accessible advice colleagues could relate to both at work and at home. The session was straightforward to arrange and well facilitated, and works particularly well as a colleague‑focused offering.
