During the winter months, many older people face tough decisions about whether to keep their home warm or pay for other essentials, such as food and rent. We support older people who are in or at risk of fuel poverty through our Warm Homes Programme.

Warmer Homes Service

Our Warm Homes Programme supports the most vulnerable and fuel poor older people. To be classed as ‘in or at risk of fuel poverty’ an older person must be over 65 years of age and at least one of the following:

1) On a low income (means-tested benefits or on an income below £16,190 per annum)
2) Have a long-term health condition (such as COPD, Heart Conditions or Arthritis).
3) Live in a ‘hard to heat home’.

A FREE Home Energy Check includes:

1) An assessment of the home to see where small measures can be installed to keep older people warmer and save money.
2) Energy advice and practical tips to help keep fuel bills down.
3) A trusted handyperson will visit an older person’s home to check how efficient it is. The handyperson fits appropriate equipment to increase the energy and thermal efficiency in the home. This includes things like energy saving light bulbs, draught excluders, and reflective radiator panels.
