​Last year Sustainable Bude bought bulk rolls of insulating foil which were installed behind radiators, helping residents save on their heating bills.  It is quick and easy to fit, no mess, no fuss, no sticking. Looking ahead to Winter '24/25, the hope is to offer the scheme to parishes around Bude-Stratton and they are looking for volunteers in the Marhamchurch parish. If you are interested, please contact Jackie: 07475 517 984 to find out further information.
