As households continue to face pressure from energy and utility costs, a free training session is being offered to help West Berkshire practitioners and volunteers provide effective support to residents struggling with household bills.
Taking place online on 10 November from 10.30am to 12.15pm, the session will be delivered by Helen Dean from Connecting Communities in Berkshire (CCB) and is aimed at anyone working with low-income households, older people, families or vulnerable residents.
Participants will learn about:
- Energy and water supplier support schemes
- Warm Home Discount and social tariffs
- Managing utility debt and accessing grants
- Priority Services Register supportFunding for insulation, heating and boiler upgradesReducing household energy and water use
- Switching tariffs and suppliers
- With many residents unaware of the financial support available, the training will equip frontline workers with practical tools and up-to-date information to help people reduce bills, increase income and stay warm this winter.
A previous attendee described the session as:“Full of useful information and really helpful for the work we do.”
