It's worth giving this a couple of minutes to help shape next year's Social Innovation Challenge. Very worthwhile themes to choose from:

Great to see the Nesta web tool feature on the Government's help for households advice page. It has helped people to save over £15m of energy savings so far. helpforhouseholds.campaign.gov.uk/help-with-your…

Heat pumps are an essential part of decarbonising the UK’s housing stock in the #racetozero, but what happens when a heat pump isn’t a viable solution? #HeatBattery #ZeroEmissions #ThermalStore #tepeoZEB #tepeoHeat

We published a blog on the future of low carbon home heating last week nesta.org.uk/blog/the-futur… Putting our money where our mouth is - Nesta Investments is investing £1m in a fund looking to raise £10 million to support Naked Energy to scale. tech.eu/2022/12/05/nes…

In collaboration with BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Sky News, CitizensAdvice,Climate Change Committee, and Energy Saving Trust, we're advocating for five top tips to help households with their energy bills this winter, including our Money Saving #BoilerChallenge. bbc.in/3FTo5nz

Published today. Biodiversity strategy: tackling the nature emergency. Sets out an ambition for Scotland to be Nature Positive by 2030 and to restore and regenerate biodiversity across the country. #biodiversity #nature gov.scot/publications/s…

The Money Saving #BoilerChallenge features in the government's new #ItAllAddsUp campaign to highlight simple, no or low-cost actions that will cut down on energy use and bills👇 @eon_next Octopus Energy EDF 🇬🇧 Jo Alsop, Warmur Energy UK Which? helpforhouseholds.campaign.gov.uk/help-with-your…
