Everyone has a role to play in the Big Switch Off Campaign

The Big Switch Off is a partnership of local authorities in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland promoting energy efficiency campaign running for a week from 12th – 18th October 2009. The innovative week-long campaign encourages everyone in three authority areas to switch off unnecessary electrical equipment and lighting to save energy, money and cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. To find out more on the campaign, please visit www.leics.gov.uk/bigswitchoff More »
Over £1.8 billion worth of energy is wasted by leaving appliances on standby at work and home in the UK. The Big Switch Off campaign aims to address this and encourage local organisations and households to reduce their energy use and costs. The residents in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland could potentially save over £13million by switching off appliances on standby!

If you love to read but find it difficult to get to your library because you are elderly or disabled, or because you are caring for someone at home, the Home Library Service is for you.
The service, provided by the Leicestershire Library Service, is absolutely free and provides access to a huge range of books, including books in large print and talking books. Music CDs are also available and a DVD subscription service for a small charge.
Signing up for the service couldn’t be easier. We will visit you to discuss your choice of books or music, and a volunteer will then visit regularly to deliver the items to your home. Alternatively, arrangements can be made so that a friend or relative can collect books and other items on your behalf. More »
