• 12.30pm – Reduce Your Bills! Learn to use comparison websites (bring along your bills).
• 2.30pm – Shopping Online and Ebay Auctions – find out how to have your groceries delivered, or grab a bargain.

Information Stalls will include:

• Sheffield City Council’s FREE Insulation scheme – find out how to reduce your heating bills.

There will also be a PRIZE draw with lots of great prizes, and a fantastic Splash and Grab game.
