Point and Sandwick Trust Warmth Without Worry
Funded Project: Description
The project aims to positively impact the wellbeing of households suffering from fuel rationing. By providing financial, physical and behavioural support, tailored to individual properties and circumstances.
They will assess the home for actual energy use vs modelled use, and provide energy support crisis grants tailored to the level of household need. With the provision of such financial assistance they aim to reduce fuel worry.
The team will also advise on heating use, ventilation, dehumidification and how to best manage these to avoid the harmful effects of mould. Where necessary they will also signpost to external agencies for additional advice (e.g. money advice, tariff advice, utility company dispute advice).
The project will also provide physical interventions to tackle the effects, on building fabric, of fuel rationing (e.g. dehumidifiers, improved ventilation).
