Great value and convenience.

In 2013, Community First set up a bulk buying group for heating oil for anyone in the two counties.  The scheme keeps money in the local economy, builds a greater sense of community and cooperation and helps tackle fuel costs.  Over the years, with hundreds of members, we have saved many thousands of pounds across both counties. 

How does it work?

​

You have to be a member of the scheme. Membership costs £20 per year.  We are very happy to work with established local groups too. For instance by sharing good practice and energy efficiency tips. 

​

At the end of each month we collate orders placed by our members and negotiate with a number of suppliers.  Our savings are often between 2p and 4p a litre against the average English price and can be much more against local individual quotes.  Our prices are the same for 500 as for 1500 litres, which is good for spreading your costs.

To register your interest or ask a question please contact admin@comfirst.org.uk or ring Richard on 07515 881231.

 

• Community First will negotiate on your behalf with the oil suppliers

• The best deal will be secured

• You pay the supplier direct for the oil they deliver (Litre Price plus 5% VAT)

• Deadlines for orders are approximately around the 26th-28th of each month
