Changeworks’ Affordable Warmth Services team is skilled in working with people and households on low incomes and who find themselves in vulnerable situations.
Our team of advisors and volunteers provide tailored in-depth support to improve energy efficiency, reduce energy costs and are specialists in resolving billing and debt issues.
Fuel debt is a worry for many households at the moment, but isn’t uncommon. The Affordable Warmth Services team can talk you through the options that are available, such as speaking to your supplier and working out a payment plan.
Your energy supplier will only ever cut off your gas or electricity supply as a last resort. By law, there are several steps they must take before they can do this.
On top of this, the team can engage in mediation with energy suppliers to help householders with billing troubles, help them access grants and other financial measures. The team can also speak multiple languages to help as many householders as possible.
