Taking Charge- An Innovative Programme to Tackle Energy Costs

Taking Charge provides free support to people who deliver social care, enabling them to reduce energy bills in their home lives and for the people they support. It is also directly accessible to many people who access social care, with interactive, fun and engaging energy saving webinars, and easy read resources to support people who need more adapted communications.

The campaign ( www.TakingChargeEnergy.co.uk ) offers free interactive webinars and accessible resources, specially tailored to the home-life and working routines of people who work in social care, and the people they support. With many social care workers and families struggling with escalating prices, and many disabled people paying more than double the energy bill of the average consumer, the programme offer vital support.

Community Integrated Care is offering free half-hour webinars every:

Tuesday at 11am
Wednesday at 6pm
Thursday at 1pm
