Rotherham Energy Know How

Building on the delivery of a previously funded project, Rotherham Federation aim to provide energy saving advice to 2,000 vulnerable households, identified through local intelligence and community referrals.

Advice will be delivered through online support, zoom/phone calls, and community training and events. Participants will use their improved knowledge to change their energy habits, switch suppliers, stay warmer, access help with fuel bills, reduce consumption and improve their energy efficiency. 

Collaborating with local service partners will enable households to access holistic support to resolve related issues (e.g. debt, credit unions, fire safety). Alongside referrals for energy support home visits, where required.

Energy advisors will provide training to local voluntary and community sector organisations to improve their energy knowledge and skills, to effectively deliver volunteer-run energy awareness activities to vulnerable households.
