In this time of inflated oil prices, some of us have been investigating the possibility of setting up a buying group so it won't cost an arm and leg to keep warm. By combining buyer power, co-operative buying groups are able to attract significant savings from energy suppliers. Of course the discount will rise with the number of folk involved.

We are looking at various avenues of support and the various structures the organisation can assume.
