the Environment Centre Hampshire Energy Advice Service
Funded Project: Description
The Hampshire Energy Advice Service will reach out, with targeted messaging, to 35,000 vulnerable households across Hampshire, Portsmouth and Southampton that are struggling to keep warm and well. The project aims to increase the provision of affordable warmth advice across the region to meet the significant increase in demand as a result of the energy crisis. Through proposed activities they will directly support 3,800 households over the phone online and with face-to face energy advice at events. The partnership will engage key council and third sector services across the region, engaging and training 500 frontline workers to raise awareness of fuel poverty and highlight the help available. In addition they provide a greatly enhanced digital offering, practical support through distributing energy saving packs and discretionary grants to those most in need. They will also foster increased collaboration between partners.
