Warm and Safe Wiltshire

Description

Warm and Safe Wiltshire is an initiative set up by Wiltshire Council, Swindon Borough Council and the Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE) to counter the issue of fuel poverty. Warm and Safe Wiltshire acts as a single point of contact for energy advice with the aim of reducing fuel poverty in Wiltshire and Swindon and reducing the impact on the health system, through minimising GP & Hospital admission and preventable excess winter deaths and access to funding for heating and insulation for some clients through third party funds. Lot 1: The service provides a telephone advice line to people in fuel poverty who need support with their energy bills and keeping their home warm. Advisors offer home visits and ongoing case work to those in need of the most support. The service has access to funding for heating and insulation for some clients through third party funds.
