Energy Advice in Inner City Derby

The project aims to alleviate and prevent fuel poverty and crisis, with the goal of reducing the severe social and economic disadvantage in Derby, by providing energy advice to those most in need. 

Advice will be delivered at five clinics located in churches and community centres across the area. These clinics are relied on by City services and support focused organisations; clients will be referred through a range of partners including social housing providers, food banks, health and social care, churches and other community services. 

As part of the project, they will also produce an energy leaflet targeted at common issues, and provide warm packs for those facing crisis.

Where necessary, the team will also refer clients to National Energy Action and relevant City wide services for additional support.
