Funded Project: Description

Building on existing work as a community partnership to help vulnerable people in North Birmingham who are impacted by the cost-of-living crisis, the project will deliver a community-based fuel poverty advice and advocacy service. This will expand the availability of dedicated fuel poverty support, offered through energy cafes, a phone line, drop-in, community events, and in-depth case work.  It will build upon the existing help with the impact of increasing fuel bills to make a positive difference to people experiencing increased stress as a result of fuel price increases and to alleviate the impact on anxiety, depression and mental health caused by fuel poverty.
