About Connect for Help
Connect for Help
is a free service that is helping people reduce their energy bills, stay warm and access the local help available to them - all without costing them any money.
​
Connect for Help is currently funded primarily by a grant from the Warm Homes Fund. This is a national fund of £150 million established by National Grid and administered by Affordable Warmth Solutions (AWS) and it funds projects that help tackle fuel poverty.
Connect for Help Can:
-
Help you with issues related to your energy supplier, your bill or your meter
-
check if you’re on the best energy tariff
-
arrange a free money advice consultation
-
help you find funding for further energy-saving home improvements
-
direct you to other local support in your area from charities and public bodies
​
Connect for Help is targeted towards households that either are already in, or are at risk of, falling into fuel poverty. It is open to all types of householders – homeowners, private renters and social housing tenants.
