Many people are still not aware of the facts about wood burning or have been exposed to confusing messages. That’s why we’re supporting #CleanAirNight 2026, to help spark a conversation across the country.

[Groundwork South Green Doctors @GreenDocs_Kent]

Let’s talk about wood burning👇
📍92% of UK homes burning wood have another way to heat their home already, with many installing wood burners for lifestyle reasons.
📍 Even homes with newer “Ecodesign” wood burners are three times more polluted than those without

Are you hosting this #holiday season? #energytips

You can keep #energycosts low with your cooking habits.

Slow cookers & batch cooking for large parties is a fuel-efficient and cheaper way to cook!

And don’t forget, air fryers can be excellent tools for gatherings of 2 or 3.

[Groundwork South Green Doctors @GreenDocs_Kent]

❗Please be aware our our office will be closed over the holiday period. And reduced services will be in place between 22nd December to the 2nd January.❗

Think ‘green’ all year! 🌿 #Sustainability #WaterSaving #GreenLiving

Let the rain refill your water butts + watering cans. And when it snows?

Collect clean snow for your houseplants as it melts into soft water with a natural nitric-oxide boost 🎍

Small habits, big impact.

[Groundwork South Green Doctors @GreenDocs_Kent]

🎄 Decorating for the holidays?

Switch to LED lights + use a timer = cosy sparkle, lower bills.

Your wallet (and the planet) will thank you!

🔔 Winter check!

As the temperature drops, lag your outside water pipes (incl. garage), insulate your boiler condensate pipe, and pop a jacket on your water tank.
These simple steps help prevent freezing & keep your home warmer ❄️
