Next Monday, there is a WOW Free Advice Event in Blackfordby, in the Old School Room, in Main Street.

Funded by Cadent, the project delivers a range of outreach and capacity building activities to support vulnerable and disadvantaged people in rural communities stay warm, become more optimistic, and improve their mental, physical, and social wellbeing.

A team is travelling to all corners of rural Leicestershire and Rutland, popping up warm and welcoming spaces for people to connect and explore creative ways to stay warm and save a bit of money too.

WOW works with communities to move rural households away from fuel poverty towards safe and affordable warmth - and there is open talk with communities about fuel poverty, raising awareness of who is at risk and the negative impacts it can have.

A friendly team is on hand to advise people on methods of self-help (e.g., ways of saving energy and keeping warm during winter), recommend other useful sources of support (e.g., benefits checks, priority services register, money advice, employment support etc.), and to build capacity of local people and groups to continue longer term community action.
