Funded Project: Description

The project aims to support 2,000 households across rural Cambridgeshire to reduce energy costs, improve home comfort, and contribute to environmental sustainability by lowering carbon emissions. Their focus will be to effectively reach vulnerable households who require energy advice in the home and within local community venues. Alongside offering telephone and video appointments. 

By collaborating with other charities, agencies and organisations to reach the most vulnerable households, the project aims to address critical social, economic, and environmental challenges in the region; improving the lives and resilience of beneficiaries. 

They will deliver comprehensive, tailored energy advice, and provide short term relief to those facing self-disconnection because of lack of funds. As well as improving client confidence in energy efficiency improvements and government schemes to provide longer term sustainable, affordable solutions. Empowering residents to successfully manage their own energy usage in the future and manage unforeseen issues.
