Please note we are only showing data for the Orchard Centre gas meter from the 1st January 2024 onward as that was when this meter was upgraded. Gas data before this point does not include the Orchard Centre gas meter. Also we have been unable to access gas data for the Performing Arts and Languages building for December 2024, so your usage during this month does not include this meter.

Please note that your Trust's gas data is estimated between the 28th of February and 31st of March 2024 due to a data issue with your previous supplier
