Sheffield City Council is promoting a new free service helping people to keep warm and save on energy. The Local Energy Advice Service ( LEAP )provides free advice and acts as a first point of contact to put you in touch with support from organisations such as Groundworks Yorkshire and their Green Doctor scheme to advise on energy efficiency and support from organisations to help with fuel arrears.
It is run by Agility Eco and you can get in touch either through their website or by telephoning 0800 060 7567 ( for England and Wales )
Their eligibility criteria is very broad and includes disability benefits.
