Sustainable Seacombe, a programme that will support over 10,000 local residents in Seacombe to better afford to keep warm in their homes, launches today (17th January) with the support of Martin Cave, Chairman of OFGEM and Philip Sellwood, CEO of Energy Saving Trust.
The programme, led by local charity Energy Projects Plus, will bring together a wide range of local partners to provide direct and practical support on how to reduce fuel bills, keep warmer at home, and access financial support to improve heating or meet the cost of unaffordable bills.
The programme is funded through OFGEM’s Voluntary Redress Fund together with funding through the Burbo Bank Extension Community Fund, Wirral Council and other programmes.
Peter Owen, Chief Executive of Energy Projects Plus, said, “We have developed Sustainable Seacombe to bring direct financial and health benefits to residents in our local community and are extremely grateful to receive the funding to enable us to deliver our 12 month programme.”
The programme is being launched at a community advice event at Seacombe Library from 2pm-4pm with a range of local organisations providing information, advice and entertainment to residents who attend.
