Perth Citizens Advice Bureau Perthshire Energy Saving Network
Funded Project: Description
The Perthshire Energy Saving Network will help clients to cut bills, reduce their energy use, provide small energy saving items for the home, challenge incorrect billing and access grants from a range of sources to help with arrears and property improvements. A core team of energy specialists will develop a Perthshire Energy Support Network of advice and support partners across Perth & Kinross to reach out to the elderly, to families and single parents and those living in rural communities who frequently bear an unequal burden of energy and cost of living rises. Perth & Kinross covers over 2,000 square miles and acting as a sole provider over that area is simply unmanageable, so they will work with our partners (Energy Saving Trust funded Heat Project and Warm Connections, local foodbanks and larders, befriending groups, carers’ support groups, NHS and numerous community groups who provide services for families and the elderly).
