Meet last year's winners

Last year's winners received energy-saving items that could help make their homes warmer and more energy efficient.

Some chose washing machines and tumble dryers. Others chose heated airers, kitchen appliances and other everyday items that worked for their household.

It’s fantastic to see organisations supporting households with practical ways to save energy, reduce costs, and make homes more environmentally friendly. This prize will make a real difference to our home, especially with the rising cost of energy.
