Charity
FISCUS North Limited
They aim to reduce fuel poverty, change energy-related behaviours and improve energy efficiency in Sunderland’s coldest and poorest homes, by delivering targeted energy-saving advice and support to 2,500 residents. The project will work within high-risk, deprived areas, with limited access to specialised services and fill critical gaps in local energy advice and fuel poverty support.
The team will provide households with immediate one-to-one energy saving advice and support, alongside advocacy necessary to overcome acute difficulties with energy bills, longer-term resilience to withstand ongoing pressures to pay energy bills and additional support for people with more complex needs.
Advice will be provided from the organisation's centre, and via outreach activity at local foodbanks and the Sunderland Bangladesh International Centre.
They will also develop robust referral pathways to support vulnerable clients via the provision of energy advice, fuel poverty advice, access to free energy efficiency measures, and crisis support.
