Age Concern and E.ON, the company that runs Powergen are working in partnership to launch a new service for older people called EnergyRight.This service is to help older people use their energy more wisely in order to stay safe, warm and healthy all year round. It aims to offer assistance to grants and schemes that offer free insulation and improved central heating systems along with simple energy efficiency advice that people can put into use to help reduce their energy consumption.
Trained volunteers will complete the Home Energy Checks in older peoples homes, the checks are then referred onto E.ON's CaringEnergy Scheme, who will submit any relevant applications for insulation measures, grants and schemes - these will also include benefit checks to see if you are claiming what you're entitled to.
EnergyRight Provides:-
- A FREE Home Energy Check
- Referral through to CaringEnergy, a scheme run by E.ON to assess where people might be eligible for grants and where they can make energy savings
- Helpful energy efficiency tips provided by trained EnergyRight volunteers
- Two energy efficient light bulbs
- Helpful and informative EnergyRight address book which contains useful telephone numbers and seasonal energy efficiency tips
If you are aged 50 and over and live in Lincoln and surrounding areas, own your own home or rent from a private Landlord, then you are entitled to a Free Home Energy Check.
Volunteer for EnergyRight
We are looking to recruit volunteer's for this project and we will provide you with full training, resources and support to enable you to carry out the Home Energy Checks. We hope you will consider volunteering for this project and to support us helping older people be energy efficient and save money.
Your time, skills and enthusiasm will make a big difference to the lives of older people and without help from volunteers, most of our work would not be possible.
If you are interested in volunteering for this project and would like to find out more please contact the Project Coordinator Direct on 01522 812838 or Reception on 01522 696000.
