Energy Advice - Salford Foundation

Salford Foundation has secured funding from Salford City Council to employ an Energy Adviser to offer support to low income adults and young people in or at risk of falling into fuel poverty.

Our Energy Adviser is able to provide energy efficiency information and support to help low income adults and young people and vulnerable service users to reduce their utility bills and improve energy efficiency in their homes.

Our Energy Adviser may be able to assist clients on switching providers in order to maximise household incomes and may also able to exchange pre-pay gas and electric meters for credit meters, potentially saving clients hundreds of pounds per year.

Funded by Salford City Council, our Energy Adviser is able to give one-to-one tailored energy efficiency advice as well as provide a twenty page generic booklet. The booklet is full of energy saving tips, advice and contact details of other local frontline service providers. The project also delivers borough-wide energy and fuel debt advice sessions in partnership with community projects and events, as well as drop-in sessions with personally tailored information.

What people are saying

"I enjoyed my experience on NCS because I was challenged by myself and others around me. I had a lot of inspiration to carry on and do better. I mixed with people from different backgrounds."

"Without Salford Foundation's support I'd be homeless. You've changed my life and I would never be able to continue my studies without your help."

"Coming here has changed my life around for the better. It has helped me stop offending by looking at why I did it in the first place and helping get things sorted out."

"I am now much more confident in my schoolwork and I listen more and my organisational skills are getting better each day."

"You would not believe the difference coming to Salford Foundation has made. I was sitting in my house, not speaking to anyone for days. My life has changed for the better. I have a life again."

"I can now start living my life again and not be afraid to open my front door. Thank you so much."

"Thank you so much for going above and beyond for my child. Your help and support has helped make such a difference in her life in such a small amount of time. I am truly grateful."
