York organisations are teaming up to offer free advice to older people worried about their energy bills.
Age UK York and York Energy Advice will be jointly hosting a drop-in session at St Sampson’s Centre on Church Street next Wednesday, 10 January between 1.30pm and 3pm.
“Energy bills are a huge worry for many older people and this is particularly timely given another increase in prices earlier this month,” said Simon Holmes, CEO of Age UK York.
Support will be available on a range of issues including managing energy costs while keeping warm, changing energy suppliers, installing insulation, more efficient lighting and more.
The session is the latest in a series of monthly events being run by Age UK York at St Sampson’s Centre.
Events take place on the second Wednesday of each month with each having a focus on an issue of particular interest to older people.
Sessions are open to all. No pre-booking is required and refreshments are available.
Age UK York offer a range of services to support older people to live more fulfilling lives including advice on money and benefits to people over state retirement age.
York Energy Advice is a project run by York Community Energy offering free advice to people on a low income, over 65 or with a disability or long-term health condition.
St Sampson’s Centre in central York offers a range of social opportunities for elderly people.
