Charity
Alt Valley Community Trust
The project aims to provide energy saving advice and practical support to vulnerable older persons in acutely disadvantaged communities in North Liverpool, who are socially isolated and digitally excluded.
Their Environmental Manager and Community Health Ambassadors will be trained to City & Guilds Level 3 in Energy Awareness. Up to 20 local older people will also be trained to become innovative 'Energy Ambassadors', helping to identify any neighbours or friends who are vulnerable to energy poverty. The project will engage with residents through Energy Ambassadors, partnership working, referrals, active outreach and their 3 existing Warm Hubs.
The project will deliver home visits to assess residents needs, their use of energy measures and how energy efficiency may be improved. Offering one to one support to help households implement specific energy efficiency measures in the home. Alongside signposting to access additional financial and welfare support.
