This project is funded by Leeds Community Foundation and the Community Partnering Fund and involves the delivery of energy efficiency advice workshops to residents within the local community of East Durham. The project is aimed at supporting local residents on low incomes and at risk of being in fuel poverty. The aim of the project is to get individuals better informed and as a result tackle high rates of fuel poverty in the area.



Each workshop lasts 2 hours and covers a range of topics including; 
- Understanding your rights as a customer
- Reading and understanding your bills
- Taking meter readings accurately
- Comparing tariffs and changing to different energy suppliers
-  General advice and handy tips on how to save on the energy used in the house. 
 
All learners receive a buffet lunch and a goodies pack as part of the session.
