Communities in Sheffield and Burnley are set to benefit from a new community retrofit project aimed at helping households improve energy efficiency and reduce bills.
Led by fuel poverty charity National Energy Action (NEA) and funded by Skipton Building Society, this pilot project will establish local energy action teams to support low income residents with practical solutions to make their homes warmer and healthier.
These energy action teams will operate within the communities, helping residents understand the energy saving options available, apply for grants, and support them through the entire installation process.
NEA’s project aims to reach vulnerable households who may not know what energy saving support is available or may feel uncertain about the effectiveness of retrofit measures.
