Energy Saving Advise for Unpaid Carers
Carers Trust has teamed up with Energy Saving Trust to produce energy saving advice specifically for unpaid carers.
The advice is in the form of interactive online modules. Carers can sign up and go through the modules in their own time and at their own pace.
Carers can find out more from the Carers Trust website - Money & Benefits - Housing & Heating Costs | Carers Trust
Carers can sign up by using this link https://carers.org/energyadvice.
There is also a Welsh language version at https://energysavingtrust.reach360.com/register/7bd8fe13-4425-40cb-9c30-39b68785f72f
Energy Saving Trust are experts in the field and have produced modules that are designed to help busy carers understand:
insulation and draught-proofing the home
heating systems and controls
the risks of carbon monoxide poisoning
the Priority Services Register (PSR)
energy-efficient appliances, and
grants and schemes for insulation and heating improvements.
The advice provided can be tailored for the different nations by selecting the appropriate country from within the modules.
