TTT is working with Totnes Caring and South Hams CAB on a project to help older and vulnerable people in fuel poverty with advice, support and practical assistance to reduce their energy bills and increase the energy efficiency of their homes. What is offered is tailored to the needs of householders involved but could include checking that they are on the most advantageous energy tariffs, assisting to manage energy debts; carrying out simple, but effective energy efficiency measure such as draught-proofing; assistance accessing grants for further measures such a boiler replacement and cavity wall insulation and income maximisation. The project is funded through a small grant from the Devon Community Foundation with some additional support from the Feed-in Tariff income from the solar panels on the Civic Hall.
