We are delighted to announce that alongside SGN Energy we will be facilitating 10 Home and Well Hubs in locations across Hampshire every month for the next 2 years.
Working in partnership SGN and The Princess Royal Trust for Carers will bring together a large network of local community partners to proactively support carers with tailored support services across Hampshire that help to tackle fuel poverty and introduce energy safeguards that help those most vulnerable maintain a safe and warm home.
The partnership is designed to work alongside the Home and Well partnership in Hampshire, providing proactive and preventative support services increasing the support available to carers and those they care for. The shared ambition is to reduce the potential impact on the NHS service and prevent hospitalisation for high-risk people as a result of living in a cold and unhealthy home.
The Home and Well Hub – Carers Support Service is an innovative partnership that aims to support all carers, existing and new. Building upon the existing referral pathways, the partnership will develop new multi-directional referral with new partners to provide support directly to people with complex needs that are struggling to meet their needs which means making difficult choices between heating and food. By tackling issues such as fuel poverty, fuel debt, tariff issues and ensuring homes are safe by discussing issues such as carbon monoxide we will understand the needs of carers and the partnerships’ services will tailor the help they provide based on need.
We look forward to welcoming carers to come and receive this vital information. Cared for also warmly welcome.
