SAVE MONEY AND THE ENVIRONMENT WITH AGE CONCERN DORCHESTER AND E.ON

Older people in West Dorset can once again get free energy saving tips and help around the house thanks to Age Concern Dorchester and energy company E.ON.

The Age Concern Dorchester EnergyRight programme, eNergyAware, supported by E.ON, advises people on how they might reduce their energy bills. It also provides energy efficiency advice, help with Winter Fuel Allowance payments and information about the Government’s Warm Front grants.

EnergyRight is a project that has been developed by Age Concern and E.ON to raise awareness of energy efficiency amongst older people, supporting them in adopting efficient practices and measures to help them to keep warm and save money.

Peter Lindsley, Information and Advice Manager of Age Concern Dorchester, said:

“If you would like some advice on energy efficiency or are worried about heating your home this Winter, get in touch with the EnergyRight scheme at Age Concern Dorchester.”

Suzanne Doxey, Community Relations Manager at E.ON, said:

“By working with Age Concern to offer this service, we are eager to share our energy expertise and to provide support where it’s needed most. Summer is a great time to prepare for the colder months ahead and there are lots of simple things we can tell you about which will help make a big difference to your bills and the environment too.”
