Free advice and information regardless of your financial situation
The cost of living is impacting everyone and is affecting us all differently. Whether you're struggling to keep up with food costs and energy bills, your mortgage or rent has increased due to rising interest rates or you are looking to retrofit your house to make it more energy efficient, look no further.
Regardless of your current financial situation, our free online Energy Advice Tool can give you information and advice on a range of topics and provides details of schemes you might be eligible for.
The online tool will ask you a short series of questions and depending on the answers will offer tailored information on grants, support and advice, and non-financial help on a range of topics including:
- Recommendations for financial support and measures to improve energy efficiency in your home
- Signpost to debt relief grants
- Where to find additional services such as clothes and food banks
- Fuel vouchers.
Visit the Energy Advice Tool to get tailored advice and see if you can get extra support this winter.
