One of the keys to wellbeing is a comfortable, warm environment. However cost of heating can make that difficult.
Keep Herefordshire Warm is offering energy bill support to people in Herefordshire who are feeling the pinch. The initiative provides support for people and families who are struggling to afford their energy bills.
The help is completely free and may include contributions towards energy debt, support on applying for available funding for home improvements, advice on how to manage energy bills, and a free energy pack in the post with gadgets to be used around the home.
YES Energy Solutions is delivering the Keep Herefordshire Warm initiative on behalf of Herefordshire County Council. They are a community interest company, putting people and communities first. The team are available to support people to reduce their energy usage, keep their homes warmer and their bills more affordable by giving advice on easy changes and help to access free funding for home upgrades. They are about creating warmer, more efficient and affordable homes for people and families in need.
If you’re supporting someone who is struggling with their bills, or have a friend or neighbour who you think may be struggling with the temperature of their home, or you know someone who would simply like some help getting to grips with their energy use ready for the winter, encourage them to call Keep Herefordshire Warm.
Call 0800 677 1432 (Monday – Friday 9am to 5pm), text ADVICE to 82228 or email khw.advicecentre@yesenergysolutions.co.uk
