Autumn Advisory Forum
We are hosting the Autumn Advisory Forum on October 9th at our office in Orchard Brae House, Edinburgh (full address and directions below). We’ve been hosting the forums for over a year now and we are delighted to offer another opportunity for frontline advisors to learn about a specific topic, network with advisors from a range of organisations and enjoy a lunch together.
Orchard Brae House, 30 Queensferry Rd, Edinburgh EH4 2HS
The Energy Price Cap is going up by 10% on October 1st, meaning a typical dual-fuel household paying will be paying £1717 per annum (direct debit customers). This price increase will put more households across the southeast of Scotland at risk of fuel poverty this winter. Therefore, this as an ideal time to discuss the subject of fuel poverty. Changeworks and Home Energy Scotland are both passionate about supporting households in fuel poverty. Together we will deliver a session discussing the following:
Causes and impacts of fuel poverty
How to identify fuel poor households
Supporting fuel poor households
Scottish Government funding
Please see below an agenda for the day:
10am Arrival and introductions
10.30am Presentation from Home Energy Scotland and Changeworks – Affordable Warmth Services
11.30am Group Activity
12.15pm Networking lunch
Following feedback from the last forum we are going to limit the number of attendees to 25 and no more than 2 advisors per organisation. However, if you have more advisors wishing to attend, please let us know and we'll get in touch if there are spaces available. Please reply with the name(s) of the advisors interested in attending by 25th September 2024.
Call Listening
We would also like to offer ‘call listening’ to attendees on the day, which will take place in the afternoon after the forum. Call listening is a great way to learn about the Home Energy Scotland service and hear our advisors deliver it. There is a limit on the number of people we can accommodate. Therefore, we’ll offer this on a first-come, first-serve basis. We usually pair guests with an advisor for two hours but can be flexible. Please let us know if you are interested.'
