West Devon Community & Voluntary Services Warmer Healthier Homes SW Devon
Funded Project: Description
This project builds on a previously funded project to provide high quality, in-depth energy support to vulnerable householders in South West Devon. The project uses the insight and community connections of their partner organisations Tamar Energy Community and South Dartmoor Community Energy to reach vulnerable households with impactful home energy advice and support.
Experienced energy advisors will deliver advice via home visits, freephone advice lines, and at community events. Attending these events is a key gateway to reaching those needing in-depth support via home visits and casework. They will also provide briefings to frontline professionals and volunteers to help generate referrals into the service. Utilising their strong referral network, households will also be referred to additional support services for small energy saving measures, larger capital energy saving programmes, and for other relevant advice and support e.g. benefits, debt advice, fuel vouchers.
