Friday night was a proud moment as we were awarded Highly Commended for the Fuel Poverty Action Award at the National Community Energy Awards!
This award recognises our funding support for Act on Energy, our incredible local energy advice charity that helped over 700 households in Stratford and Warwick Districts through their "Complex Case Worker" initiative. Over the last two years, HECE contributed £70,000 to pilot this program, delivering tailored energy advice, access to grants and practical solutions to tackle energy costs and fuel poverty.
Read our April news story for a detailed look at how HECE supported Act on Energy's Complex Caseworker programme, the incredible outcomes it achieved and how district councils have since expanded the initiative due to its success.
A huge congratulations to Energise Barnsley for also winning in this category, and a huge thank you to the judges, Community Energy England, and all the fantastic community energy groups across the country for their vital contributions over the past year.
