Home Funding

Affordable heating for the elderly in partnership with Eclipse Energy

Help for the vulnerable to save on their energy bills

Focus4Hope are delighted to have entered in to a partnership with Eclipse Energy, a Halifax based energy efficient home improvement specialist, to help the isolated and elderly within our community.

As part of our work together, Eclipse are offering assistance to help you access funding and improve your homes. The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a government initiative to provide certain households that qualify under particular criteria with grants to save on energy bills and cut their carbon emissions. The scheme ensures the larger energy providers supply efficient energy measures to the UK’s low income or vulnerable households.

Any of our elderly friends who are in receipt of pension credit could qualify for a free boiler under the ECO scheme. We have heard from the people we work with that heating in the winter can be a huge strain on finances, and Eclipse are able to help cover these costs and reduce your bills.

Help to make your home warmer and safer

In addition, Eclipse work on a number of measures across Calderdale, including insulation and ventilation to reduce damp and mould. We are happy to refer any of our friends to Eclipse for free consultations on their property, and how they can make their homes warmer and safer, either by themselves or by consulting with their landlord or housing association.
