Can you help keep York Energy Advice going? We offer free support on energy issues to anyone in York on a low income, or aged 65+, or experiencing a long term health condition or disability. Your donation will make a positive difference to the lives of York residents in need. The impact of our support on people’s lives can go well beyond energy or financial savings.
“Lifesaving at times. I am loads less anxious now [about my energy bills]…” is how one supported client described the service.
Whether it’s advice on managing bills or keeping warm without costing the earth, our friendly team tailor their support for each household. Where we can, we will install simple energy-saving measures - from LEDs to draught-proofing. Even providing something as simple as a heated blanket can make a huge difference for residents who struggle with health conditions that affect their circulation or movement and can’t afford to heat the whole home. We can also connect residents to other support services in the city or help apply for insulation grants and more.
So far, our service has been primarily funded through grants, including from the City of York Council. It is increasingly hard to secure sufficient funding for an existing project like this, let alone to help it grow. We’ve had to reduce our staffing levels even though we know there is a great need for impartial advice and support.
Your donation will go directly towards supporting our core activity - helping to make sure that one day, no-one in York will have to decide between heating and eating. Can you help us empower York residents in need to take action on their energy usage?
