Safe & Warm Grassroot Community Scheme

The project will establish a community-led energy safeguarding network across GDN areas, delivered with the Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE). It will identify and train trusted grassroots organisations to support households at risk of fuel poverty. The programme will provide practical training, tools and peer learning opportunities, enabling organisations to integrate energy support into their services, make effective referrals, and access schemes. It will also develop a mentor network to sustain skills, strengthen local partnerships and expand support reach.
