The start of the programme coincided with the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, creating new challenges and opportunities. This report looks at what we have learned through delivering this programme over the past year. Key findings: More households needing intensive advice and support to manage their energy bills The existing social infrastructure plays an important role in connecting people to services Being able to deliver energy advice over the phone, rather than purely face-to-face, enhances the service Services like Energising Communities can help to ‘level up’ communities Download the report (PDF) Twitter Facebook Linkedin Youtube Select your region Cheshire and Merseyside East Midlands East of England Greater Manchester Lancashire and Cumbria London North East North Wales Northern Ireland Scotland South East of England South Wales South West of England West Midlands Yorkshire and the Humber UK Office GO PROJECTS PARTNER WITH US JOIN IN GROUNDWORK NEAR ME Careers Resources Apply for a grant Terms and conditions of use Privacy Accessibility Sitemap The Federation of Groundwork Trusts.
