Shettleston Tollcross Energy Project - STEP

Building on the successful delivery of a previously funded project, they aim to prepare the community for a more sustainable, affordable future, by providing expert energy advice. The project will primarily focus on local high schools, especially school leavers, to equip them with the skills to manage energy costs, live sustainably, and avoid debt when moving into their first homes. 

Based at the Shettleston Hub and Tollcross Advice and Learning Centre, they provide free, practical energy advice. Working closely with housing associations and community services to reach low and no-income households, offering one-to-one support, home visits, and community events.

Their energy advisor supports residents to cut costs, use energy efficiently, and communicate with suppliers. They also supply energy-saving equipment where needed and connect people with further support. Alongside partnering with a digital inclusion project to ensure people can manage accounts online and take control of bills.
