Funded Project: Description

The project aims to address energy-related challenges faced by Somali and other BAME families in West London. This project will provide tailored, culturally relevant energy advice to help these communities reduce energy consumption and lower their energy bills. By engaging 150 households, they aim to deliver comprehensive advice sessions on energy efficiency, grants, and sustainable practices. The project includes outreach sessions in community centres and mosques, distributing bilingual educational materials, and providing one-to-one advice through an advice line and drop-in centre. Home energy audits will identify areas for improvement, and they will assist households in applying for grants and subsidies for energy-efficient upgrades.
