Residents across North Lincolnshire are discovering new ways to cook smarter, save energy and cut costs thanks to a series of free community sessions from North Lincolnshire Council.

The demonstrations – open to anyone who has received a free air fryer through the council’s energy-saving initiative – will showcase how this modern kitchen gadget can help create quick, healthy, and affordable meals while using less power.

Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “People are already finding that small changes in how we use modern technology can make a big difference. These sessions are about sharing ideas, inspiring confidence, and helping everyone make the most of the tools that can save energy and money day to day.”

The sessions, taking place in hubs across the region, will share practical tips on how to prepare quick, healthy, and affordable meals, all while saving energy and reducing electricity bills.

It is part of a wider programme helping residents stay active, healthy, and supported, particularly during the colder months.,

Older residents will receive extra fuel payments, free winter warm packs, and low-energy appliances to cut bills and stay safe at home. They’ll also have the chance to build digital skills, which will boost confidence, tackle isolation and help people stay connected.

Cllr Tim Mitchell, cabinet member for sustainability and transformation, said: “Air fryers use much less energy than conventional ovens and are a fantastic way to prepare tasty, healthy meals quickly. By giving residents the tools and know-how to use them confidently, we’re helping households live more sustainably while cutting costs.”

Each session lasts around 45 minutes, with time slots available starting 10am, 11am, 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm at the following locations:

• Monday 27 October – Scunthorpe Central
• Monday 27 October – Barton Assembly Rooms
• Tuesday 28 October – Ashby Community Hub
• Tuesday 28 October – Winterton Hub
• Wednesday 29 October – Brigg Hub
• Wednesday 29 October – Haxey Memorial Hall

Places on all sessions must be booked in advance. To reserve a space, email community.recreation@northlincs.gov.uk or call 01724 297270.

The sessions are part of North Lincolnshire Council’s Household Support Fund programme, which is funded by the UK Government.
