Groundwork’s Green Doctors help residents stay warm, stay well, and save money on household bills.

A Green Doctor visit can help a household to:

• take control of their energy bills,
• provide practical solutions to reduce energy costs,
• support residents to use their heating system and controls efficiently,
• manage damp, mould and condensation,
• reduce energy usage and waste and more.

This can involve installing small measures to help save energy such as: LED lightbulbs / Draft excluders / reflective radiator panels and provide Warm packs. As well as completing onward referrals so residents can access other appropriate services, such as grants for boilers & insulation and initiatives available to the residents.

Training for your organisation...

We can offer different levels of training depending on the need of your organisation. All training offers are fully funded to allow us to offer these services free of charge to community groups and frontline workers.

We can provide a 15-minute service overview for your staff or volunteers to briefly explain what fuel poverty is and the challenges households face, what services we offer, and how to refer into the Green Doctors.

Community energy advice...

We can also offer energy advice talks for community groups and attend events; these can be a great platform to introduce our service whilst providing basic energy advice. A member of the Green Doctor team can attend one of your community groups to provide a talk or a drop-in session depending on the group's needs. We pride ourselves on tailoring our service to the group or individual needs, so please contact us to discuss the requirements of your group. We have both male and female advisor.

At events, we can set up a stall, chat to attendees about any worries or concerns around energy use and fuel bills, provide basic energy advise and make a referral for a Green Doctor home visit or telephone advice appointment.

Many thanks,
The Green Doctor Team
