We want to support vulnerable residents by using trusted organisations and networks within communities to cascade information and to enable local action. Our training courses equips individuals from organisations and community groups with knowledge and skills to be able to support others.
We have now run 78 training courses, with well over 1,000 attendees. Wherever possible we continue to work with organisations after the course has finished, providing regular updates on an ever-changing world of energy, information on support schemes and offering talks to client groups.
The courses run on Zoom over 3 weeks (1.5 hours per week). We cover:
- Week 1: Fuel poverty, energy prices, understanding energy bills, managing energy debt
- Week 2: Understanding energy use, energy saving tips, energy efficiency, staying safe from carbon monoxide
- Week 3: Schemes to help with energy costs
