If you have children under 5 and have registered as a priority customer with your energy provider because you have little ones, or have health, income or vulnerability challenges (see full criteria here) you can benefits from Cumbria Action For Sustainability’s Cold to Cosy draft proofing service.

Its a fantastic service that can remove drafts from your property free of charge and support you to think of the many ways you can save money on your energy bills.

‘I found the service to be professional, prompt, practical and friendly. Can’t fault it’ Ian, Kendal

“This is a great scheme, which I’m proud to be a champion of. Many of the homes in our area are very old, or in need of modernisation, and therefore can be difficult to heat or have outdated heating systems. A cold and damp home can cause many health problems, so it is crucial that people get the advice and financial assistance they need to turn their homes from cold to cosy. So I’d encourage everyone to take a look at the website or give the team a ring, to see if there is any help available to them.” Councillor Fitzgerald.
