The scheme is part of Havering Council’s ongoing support for households struggling with rising energy costs.
The kits will be available at two locations: Harold Hill Library Hub on Tuesday, December 16, from 11am to 3pm, and the Low Energy Visitor Centre on Wednesday, December 17, from 10am to 3pm.
Each kit contains items designed to help reduce household energy use, including energy-saving lightbulbs, a nightlight, a timer switch, recycling bags, and a printed booklet of hints and tips.
Councillor Ray Morgon, leader of Havering Council, said: “We know many residents are still feeling the impact of rising energy costs.
“These kits provide some simple tools that can help straight away, but they also offer a gateway to more tailored support.
“Our energy doctors are already making a real difference for households across Havering, and I would encourage anyone who is struggling to come along, pick up a kit and sign up for a home visit.
“This is about practical help that residents can benefit from immediately.”
Residents will also be able to sign up for a free energy doctor home visit, where trained advisors can install radiator foils and draught proofing, identify ways to bring down bills, and offer personalised guidance on keeping warm and well this winter.
The energy doctors programme forms part of the council’s wider cost-of-living support offer, helping residents manage household pressures and improve energy efficiency.
Visitors will be asked to provide basic information such as postcode, age bracket and ethnicity to help the council monitor uptake and ensure support reaches those who need it most.
Residents do not need to book in advance and kits will be available while stocks last.
