Testimony

" York Supplies Community Co-op is a hardware and horticulture shop established by its 720+ shareholders in 2024. It fulfills a wider role as a hub and resource centre supporting a network of community partnerships. Building on an initial programme of energy advice cafes/workshops/demonstrations in 2024-25, York Supplies has recently undertaken a household survey across its membership network on the demand of energy advice service. Responses showed a high level of interest in having an impartial, locally available service. "
