Since 2020 Cadent Foundation has worked with Groundwork and committed an investment of £6m over the partnership to support 14,500 households in our communities to stay warm at home.
Together we established the Stay Warm Stay Well programme, to allow Green Doctors – energy saving experts – to provide bespoke, tailored advice to help households stay warm, stay well, save money on their household bills and reduce carbon. Participating households receive a detailed consultation from a Green Doctor, which combines energy efficiency advice, referrals to other local support services (e.g. debt advice, food banks), and the installation of small energy saving measures at home. The partnership is funding 14,500 consultations between 2024 and 2026.
The programme also includes the Cadent Foundation Green Doctor Academy - an initiative to support the creation of the next generation of energy advisors via a 12-month traineeship opportunity. This enables more accessible pathways into work for people, particularly those with a disability, from an ethnic minority background, or from a low-income household.
