Energy YourWay

The Energy YourWays project will deliver intensive energy advice to vulnerable older people living in Scarborough and Ryedale in, or at risk of, fuel poverty. Energy Advice workers will be deployed to target and reach those in the greatest need, working closely with local authorities, the voluntary sector, the health sector, housing providers and statutory services. Eighty workers and volunteers from will be trained to increase awareness of the impact of fuel poverty on older people. The project will also raise awareness amongst partner organisations and provide a community “Warm Room” – utilising community facilities as a place for people to come during the daytime to reduce their energy costs at home and remain warm.
