Company activities and impact

Yorkshire Energy Doctor CIC supports households who are living in, or at risk of, fuel poverty and who are finding it difficult to pay energy bills and heat their homes. Our activities are targeted at vulnerable households, such as those with an elderly resident, young children or someone with a disability or long-term health condition. We provide information and advice on reducing energy prices and managing energy bills, help people to access grants and other schemes that can help with energy costs, deal with energy debts, administer a hardship fund, and signpost towards energy efficiency grants. We provide 1-2-1 advice remotely or via home visits, training for frontline staff and community outreach sessions. The energy crisis fell within this financial year so we saw an increased demand for our services. We had a strong focus on equipping other staff with knowledge to help vulnerable households, and projects targeted two priority groups - residents with an underlying health condition or disability, and households with young children. During the period August 2022 to July 2023 we have:- Been part of the national Big Energy Saving Network (led by the Citizens Advice) for the ninth consecutive winter, giving one-to-one energy advice and promoting key energy saving messages.- Delivered online Community Energy Ambassadors courses, equipping representatives of organisations across Yorkshire, the Northeast and Cumbria to be able to support vulnerable households with their energy costs.- Delivered a ‘Warm Homes Healthy Children’ project, engaging with family support workers to reach and support families with young children who are in fuel poverty.- Continued to deliver a ‘Heating for Health’ project which involves a) training health and social care staff on fuel poverty, the links with health, how to identify households in fuel poverty and the support schemes available and b) providing 1-2-1 energy advice to residents with underlying health conditions.- Worked as a financial intervention partner on firstly the EU funded Action Towards Inclusion project and secondly its successor RISE (Reducing Inequalities, Supporting Employment).- Delivered slow cooker demo sessions, providing attendees with a free slow cooker to cut energy costs, together with tips on how they can be used and general energy saving advice.Impacts:Being cold has detrimental impacts on both physical and mental well-being. All of our advice is around making energy bills more manageable so residents can better afford to heat their homes and be warm and well. Some examples of the impacts made are:- Delivering one-to-one energy advice to 476 households.- Helping households save £129,296 through direct support and working with our Community Energy Ambassadors. This was achieved by reviewing energy bills, getting water meters fitted, applying for grants to have energy and water debts written off, accessing grants for energy efficiency improvements and referral for hardship grants.- Providing training to 671 volunteers and staff from voluntary/public sector organisations and community groups on fuel poverty, energy awareness and energy support schemes.- Engaging with 1164 residents through talks at community groups about energy saving tips, support schemes, and carbon monoxide awareness.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our main groups of stakeholders are1) Staff and volunteers from other voluntary and public sector organisations who attend training courses. We have a tailored feedback form for each course which asks attendees to rate the course and provide qualitative information on what they found most useful and least useful, and any suggested improvements. We then look at any areas where we can adjust the training to make it more useful and to ensure our services are most benefitting the needs of clients. We also run two update/training events every year and circulate an annual survey to staff which includes metrics to capture impact and feedback.2) Vulnerable households. We ask attendees of any talks we give in the community to complete a feedback form so we can review the content and presentation for future talks. Feedback is also sought at the end of the provision of 1-2-1 advice.
