The Carbon Trust has launched a free guide to enable the UK’s 190,000 registered charities to cut their carbon emissions. It aims to take account of the sector’s diversity, ranging from offices, to museums and hospices.

“By implementing simple low cost and no cost energy saving measures – such as reducing heating temperatures – charities can demonstrate good carbon management and effective use of resources,” said Trust solutions director Hugh Jones. “This will not only lead to savings on energy bills but will also demonstrate an organisation’s environmental credentials, which could attract future benefactors.”
