Cadent Foundation allocates £6 million to Groundworks' 'Green Doctors' project in Lancashire to provide in-home consultations and support for vulnerable households facing financial difficulties.
Funding for a project to help some of the most vulnerable households in Lancashire is announced today, as 30% of adults in the region say they are in financial difficulties.
The funding – the biggest award Cadent Foundation has ever made – enables the ‘Stay Warm, Stay Well’ programme to run for three years. The Groundwork projects covering West Lancashire, East Lancashire, Blackpool and Fylde will be funded as part of a scheme that covers other regions of the North West, as well as the West Midlands, East Midlands, East of England and North London areas.
One Green Doctor commented: "We’re seeing people choosing between which bills to pay and whether to eat meals, and many don’t even consider putting on the heating. It’s heart-breaking and infuriating.Those needing advice can access the referral form on Groundwork’s website here. "We’re also seeing more working people who are ineligible for government support but who still need advice on how to reduce their bills. We’re delighted that the Cadent Foundation is able to provide strategic, multi-year support for our Green Doctors, which will help us expand our service to more people and ensure we have a workforce able to meet growing demand."
