Citizens Advice Bradford & Airedale and Bradford Law Centre Energy Support for Vulnerable Clients
Funded Project: Description
The project aims to deliver energy focused advice and support to 2,000 vulnerable households across Bradford, including those in or at risk of fuel poverty.
They will assist households with sorting out billing issues, helping clients deal with fuel debts, apply for capital energy saving programmes, alongside proving advice on energy efficiency, switching tariffs and smart meters.
The project will also focus on developing external stakeholder relationships with Landlords and the Local Authority Housing Standards Department, to help them meet their legal obligations and provide direct referral paths into the service, offering holistic support to vulnerable clients.
They will also work together with partners in the community, to promote the service and provide practical support such as applications for grants for insulation.
