IMO Charity Be Warm, Save Money
Funded Project: Description
The project will build on a previous funded project, and continue to support vulnerable people experiencing fuel poverty in the most deprived areas of Blackburn with Darwen, by giving them the tools and resources they need to save energy, stay warm, reduce their bills, manage debt and access benefits and grants.
The project will focus exclusively on supporting people who are missing out on vital savings and opportunities because they either have English as a second language and struggle to understand important information, or are older and socially and digitally excluded from accessing the same important information.
Energy Advisors will deliver 1:1 advice sessions in community drop-ins across nine key locations, making home visits to the most vulnerable community members, providing a regular telephone support service and running monthly community-awareness events packed with vital practical information.
