“Empowering others to be confident, resilient and in control of their finances (incomes and outgoings), health, safety and personal wellbeing”.

Energy Confident! for all your energy advice needs

DIAL LEEDS’s new project Energy Confident! (in association with Northern Gas Networks) will run until 31/03/2027 although we hope to be able to extend this further.  .

Through peer support we will use and share knowledge, skills and life experiences to enable others to be confident, resilient and in control of their finances (incomes and outgoings), health, safety and personal wellbeing.

What we can do!

Our project will include:

All necessary casework for overcoming poverty relating to food, fuel and other associated types of disadvantage

Support to encourage energy efficiency  and with accessing any available funding for appropriate measures 

Supported applications to energy trust funds

We can also visit people at home to offer the above types of help and to give advice on all aspects of energy awareness including how to use your heating devices and to combat condensation.
