Making Ends Meet

A partnership between Citizens Advice Bury/Bolton, Age UK Bolton, and Age UK Bury will create a team of 4 advisers and a project manager, whose role will include increasing awareness and developing external stakeholder relations with landlords and local authorities. The project will include free face-to-face quality assured advice for those vulnerable to fuel poverty across Bury and Bolton. The project will be delivered through provisions of energy specific advice, income maximisation, and advice on wider money problems. It will work proactively with landlords who are interested in encouraging applications for grants when available. The project will also work to promote greater awareness and access to advice and other services helping people with fuel insecurity.
