Caritas Energy Advice Service (Greater Manchester)

The project will build on the successful delivery of a previously funded project; they are currently on target to reach over 1,000 households to date and have worked alongside other Caritas services to reduce the effects of fuel poverty. 

The project will continue to provide energy advice to people who are speakers of other languages, the deaf community, people with mobility and disabilities, and refugees. Advice will be provided through interpreted workshops, calls and information sessions.

The project also aims to educate those moving from institutions or accommodations (such as hospital, prison or care) and people from other countries, about energy use, bills and supply in the UK, to pre-empt energy issues they may face.
