£6m project to tackle fuel poverty in Merseyside

FUNDING for a project to help some of the most vulnerable households in Merseysidehas been announced, as 30% of adults in the Region say they are in financial difficulties.

Cadent Foundation is allocating £6 million to Groundworks' 'Green Doctors,' with the aim to offer more than 14,500 in-home consultations and support.

Energy efficiency advisors ('Green Doctors') will offer practical guidance on energy saving, behaviour change tips and referrals to local support services.

The funding; the biggest award Cadent Foundation has ever made; enables the:- 'Stay Warm, Stay Well' programme to run for 3 years.

The Groundwork projects covering Merseyside will be funded as part of a scheme that covers other Regions of the North West, as well as in the:- West Midlands, East Midlands, East of England and North London areas.

It comes at a time when immediate support for households during the cost of living and continued energy crisis remains vital.

Insight from a recent Groundwork survey, found that 94% of Green Doctors reported supporting households that did not use their central heating at all, with 85% saying they had worked with people cutting back on food or only eating cold meals.

On 10 April 2024, the Financial Conduct Authority published a report which revealed 30% of adults in the North West are not coping financially, or finding it difficult to cope. This is 28% higher than the UK average.

One Green Doctor commented:- "We're seeing people choosing between which bills to pay and whether to eat meals, and many don't even consider putting on the heating. It's heartbreaking and infuriating. The energy crisis is far from over; there are so many people and families in urgent need of help."

Graham Duxbury, Groundwork's UK Chief Executive, said:- "This new funding from the Cadent Foundation couldn't be coming at a more important time. Feedback from our Green Doctors is that they're visiting an increasing number of people who are taking drastic measures to make ends meet; from skipping meals to living in permanently cold, damp homes; with many falling into debt. We're also seeing more working people who are ineligible for Government support but who still need advice on how to reduce their bills. We're delighted that the Cadent Foundation is able to provide strategic, multi year support for our Green Doctors, which will help us expand our service to more people and ensure we have a workforce able to meet growing demand."

Julia Dwyer, Director of the Cadent Foundation, said:- "The impact from our initial partnership which began in 2020, has been incredible to witness, particularly as the work of energy advisors has been vital throughout the cost of living crisis. We've learnt a lot throughout the 1st phase, which supported more than 10,000 households, but being able to fund the training of local people, to advise and guide their own communities on energy efficiency and money management, is really powerful. We truly believe that a solid knowledge of how to optimise the energy efficiency of a home, is the key to alleviating fuel poverty in the long-term and the next stage in our partnership will allow us to expand the programme even further, increasing our involvement and doubling the amount of funding to help even more families."

In addition to the new programme, Groundwork has developed a new section of its website, Get Energy Help, to offer clear, simple advice on different ways to save energy, stay warm and reduce bills, including resources on minimising heat loss or understanding meters.

Those needing advice can access the referral form on Groundwork's website.
