Fuel Poverty
It’s a lot more than giving away a lot of low energy light bulbs
A direct mail shot to recipients of Housing an CTB in Newport resulted in 500 homes having measures installed

Local Energy Support Teams
To develop capacity, understanding and corporate commitment within local authorities and other housing providers with respect to energy efficiency and sustainable energy.
Support is provided through:
– Developing sustainable energy strategies– Providing extra staff and resources – Developing Energy Efficiency Schemes – Accessing grants– Marketing and Awareness Raising with Elected Members– Scheme management and delivery
We have them because we successfully bid for the funding – only half of EEACs have an LEST.

Why work with EEACs?
There are many good reasons for working with us:• We are all charities so no shareholders or directors
taking the profits• Any income we generate is all spent in Wales• We are based in Wales, managed in Wales and
employ people in Wales• We are here today and tomorrow – not take the profit
and disappear.• We take to good and the bad – not just pick the
cherries and move on• Not tied to any EEC funder – take the best offer for
the householder and access all available funds

The Best Reasons
• For every £1 we receive in funding from Local Authorities we find another £10 ourselves.
• Just about everything we do improves your HECA Return or now Policy Agreement performance, typically we provide half of the claimed improvement.
• Nobody offers better value for money, flexibility or long term commitment.
