Referral Partners

Cold Homes have a negative impact on thousands of households locally.

Many of those who are affected may already be using your services in some way. We can offer you and your service users a pathway to help address their health and housing needs. We are a niche charity and our approach to this is from the housing side, not the health side.

We would also welcome the opportunity to refer others to you, especially if they need help with benefits checks or accessing additional support for home improvements.

We currently work with

• Local Age UKs and Citizen’s Advice
• Local NGOs
• Social care teams
• VCSA members
• Social prescribing projects
• Climate Action Groups
• Housing charities
• Fuel Poverty charities
• Local Authorities

Our Climate Emergency. This pressure will continue to build on all of us. There is a connection between your current work which puts marginalised people at the heart of all that you do. We feel this is the social floor in the diagram below, which you are helping to shore up. At some stage we will also have to face our ecological breakdown, and that many of the poorest will be most affected. Can we work together to start addressing this?
