DIAL Great Yarmouth Great Yarmouth Energy Resilience
Funded Project: Description
This project will provide energy advice to 450 low-income households in Great Yarmouth who are most at risk of fuel poverty. An energy advisor will provide in-depth face-to-face, online, and telephone support.
They will help people develop an energy-saving plan by calculating their energy use and identifying ways to save energy and money. The project will also recruit and support six volunteer energy champions from local communities. Volunteers will leverage their social networks to contact community groups, advising their members on saving energy and raising awareness of energy improvement schemes.
The team will work closely with the local integrated care system to support residents who are experiencing or recovering from a health problem. They will also offer energy advice to people accessing their existing money and debt services and do outreach at food and clothing banks.
