EDF Energy Trust Debt Advice Services
The Trust provides specialist fuel debt advice services via funded project workers within a number of agencies in England.
The EDF Energy Trust provides grants to organisations to:
- Provide free and impartial holistic money and debt prevention advice with a particular emphasis on the relief and prevention of fuel poverty.
- Raise awareness of the Trust and the help provided by it to individuals and other advice agencies.
- Increase the quality of applications submitted to the Trust.
- Submit quality applications to the Trust on behalf of relevant clients.
- Signpost appropriate clients to energy efficiency advice.
Latest grants were awarded to the two following organisations in London, with projects commencing on 1 October 2011 for an initial one year period.
- Toynbee Hall (28 Commercial Street, London E1 6LS) and
- Nucleus Advice Centre (298 Old Brompton Road, London SW5 9JF)
These organisations were chosen as they are located in areas known to have high levels of fuel debt and were both able to demonstrate strong partnerships helping them achieve the aims of funding from the Trust.
These awards bring the total number of organisations currently funded by the Trust to fourteen.
Each organisation must deliver against strict targets set by trustees in return for their grant. Project funding may be withdrawn if organisations fail to meet project targets.
