It is estimated that 6 million people are living in fuel poverty. More and more Plymouth residents are struggling to pay energy bills, leading to cold, damp homes and worsening health conditions.

Aimed at frontline workers and professionals supporting residents in Plymouth, join our expert Energy Advisors in an interactive face to face session. We'll explore what you can do to help and the tools you need to get started.

Attendees have been telling us the difference PEC’s training makes. These informal sessions form new links with frontline workers across the city, offer tools to keep people warm and well at home and provided a welcome forum for sharing ideas.

‘It’s very informative...(I’ve gained an) awareness of what PEC do as an organisation and how we can work as part of a multi-disciplinary team.’

‘It has helped me develop more of an understanding of the signs to look out for when someone may be struggling with fuel poverty…and what I can do to help them get support.’
