About this Event

The escalating costs of domestic gas and electricity have left millions of households struggling to cope.

This in-person training session will help individuals and organisations who work with low-income families and support them to stay warm, healthy and out of debt.

Attendees will learn to recognise the signs of fuel poverty and direct people to the appropriate agency for further support.

Training will cover:

  • How to recognise that someone is in fuel poverty.
  • Health and social impacts of living in a cold home.
  • Advice on using heating and hot water controls.
  • Dealing with electricity and gas suppliers.
  • Making the home more energy efficient.
  • Tackling damp and mould.
  • How to give energy efficiency advice to the people you support.
  • Accessing further support.

This training will be particularly valuable for those working with vulnerable clients who struggle to maintain a basic quality of life through being unable to heat their homes or afford their household bills.

The workshop will be useful even if your primary reason for visiting vulnerable clients is not about energy usage.

This first session will be held online with the following session being in person at our offices in central Bristol. Please see alternative dates for further information.

About the Centre for Sustainable Energy

We work with a wide range of organisations who engage with vulnerable households who may be in or at risk of fuel poverty. We have designed this training to upskill these organisations to recognise signs of fuel poverty and help households to access energy advice and support.

About the Trainer, Nick Trapp

Nick first got involved at CSE as a volunteer Arabic-English interpreter, before joining full time in 2020. He gives advice on heating, energy saving behaviour, damp and mould, financial support and low-carbon home improvements, and takes on advocacy work for vulnerable clients faced with unmanageable bills or poor treatment from their energy supplier. He recently trained The Matthew Tree Project to give advice on energy, and briefed NHS employees on how to recognise the signs of fuel poverty in patients’ homes. Nick is a clear and concise communicator with an understanding of the dynamics of encouraging behaviour change in individuals.
