What We Do

Community energy awareness, trusted signposting and green skills engagement for the North East.

Some people are offered help to make their home warmer and never take it up. Sometimes the forms are confusing. Sometimes they are not sure who to trust. Sometimes nobody explained it properly.

NEEF is early stage. Funding & Application Support is our live paid service. Energy Awareness Workshops, Community Engagement Delivery, Project Coordination, Impact Reporting and Green Careers Sessions are developed concepts, not yet launched or proven.

Proposed commissioned programmes would offer free local sessions that explain home energy in everyday words, help people work out where to go next, and include a follow-up call six weeks later.

We aim to offer commissioned school and college sessions showing young people the jobs this work is creating. Delivery would depend on agreed funding and scope.

What you can expect

Proposed commissioned programmes would explain things in everyday words, signpost to trusted official support routes and include six-week follow-up to understand whether people accessed support.
