Due to the successful completion of the Warmer Wirral Project for 2013 -2014, we are back again for another productive year! This time we are moving on from Tranmere North and for 2015, we will be working with residents from approximately 2,800 properties within Birkenhead West, Birkenhead South, Egerton North and Tranmere West. We are currently working with the Wirral Council to deliver our Warmer Wirral project. This service can create multiple benefits for residents, so we want to get as much community engagement as possible!

We have written to all of the residents in the catchment area and put together a team of assessors that will knock on each door and offer face to face expert advice on how to tackle fuel poverty.  Our assessors will be giving useful information and tips on energy efficiency improvements that can be made at home, which will help residents save money on their utility bills. We will also use this exercise as an opportunity to make residents aware of the financial support and advice, available to them all year round from our Wirral Fuel Debt Advice, Save Energy Advice Line and the Collective Switch.

As part of the project, Energy Projects Plus we will be holding training days for local organisations and community representatives from Age UK Wirral, Merseyside Fire Service and workers in the Wirral Council. This is to ensure that after the projects finished, key organisations and representatives in the area are still available to offer help and advice to residents that are tackling fuel poverty.

We work to support our community and aim to encourage energy efficient behaviour. Ultimately, we want a warmer Wirral!
