Action Hampshire are running a Winter Readiness Campaign throughout October 2024. Funded by SGN, it is designed to engage the people of Hampshire, the Isle of Wight and Dorset to provide advice and information about energy saving, support for vulnerable groups, carbon monoxide safety, tips for saving money on bills and keeping warm, ready for winter.
This campaign is part of our Safe and Warm Communities Project which provides upskilling for organisations and individuals within the VCSE sector so that they can provide energy advice and awareness to help diverse communities who may be experiencing barriers to accessing energy safeguarding services. You can find out more about the wider project here
