Leicestershire Energy Advice Service (LEAS)

The project aims to improve wellbeing and confidence for vulnerable energy consumers by providing advice and referrals to mitigate the impact of energy costs. The project will support people to manage their bills, fix energy arrears, access fuel vouchers, and advise on fuel options, available tariffs and grants where possible.

This project will build on the successes of a previously funded project, to expand and cover both the city and county area, working with over 800 households.     

After providing direct support to households, they will signpost them to ongoing energy budgeting support advice to make a tangible long term difference to how people manage their finances into the future.
