The HEAT Project Scotland

This project builds on the successful delivery of a previously funded project, which aims to provide a free, impartial and expert energy advice service to consumers in vulnerable situations throughout Perth and Kinross. This is a popular and heavily subscribed service, supporting over 300 inquiries per month.

With continued funding, they will be able to support two full time energy advisors, one part time Project Manager, marketing, events, communications and relevant support services. Over two years, the team will provide free home energy advice to over 3,000 vulnerable households through advice surgeries (e.g. at food banks and warm spaces), telephone and email advice, factsheets (printed and online) and in-depth home energy surveys. 

Where required, they will also refer vulnerable clients to other services for further direct help, grants and other financial services and support, guiding them through any application processes.
