Heart of England Community Energy is proud to provide money to Citizens Advice South Warwickshire (CASW), a local charity making a significant impact. CASW provides free, impartial and confidential advice on various issues, and Heart of England Community Energy supports their grants program by funding their admin team, who identify and facilitate grant funding.
The grants cover essential items such as necessities, furniture, clothing, heating, and household appliances, all of which significantly improve the lives of individuals facing financial hardships. This partnership is an effective way for us to contribute to the well-being of our community, ensuring that CASW can continue to provide vital support.
Between July and September, Heart of England Community Energy's funding supported 75% of the grant administration activities, with the grants admin team averaging 15 hours of work per week.
As a result of this direct support, 61 grants were awarded to 28 clients, totalling £11,996.15. The assistance included 9 freezers, 14 pieces of furniture (including carpets and curtains), and 6 washing machines, as well as essential items like school uniforms and food vouchers.
Since May 2020, Heart of England Community Energy has supported CASW's administrative team’s vital work. During this period, many households have felt the pinch as food and energy prices surged. We hope our efforts over the last four years to facilitate access to essential items have helped to alleviate some of the burdens faced by individuals and families.
