Working together with SGN to help local older people stay safe and warm
We’re really pleased to announce our new partnership with SGN, aimed at providing essential support to older people and their carers, to ensure that they can stay safe and warm in their homes.
With the rising cost of living putting immense pressure on many households, this partnership will focus on delivering vital information, entitlements and tools. SGN, a leading gas distribution company, will work closely with us to offer practical assistance and resources.
Key initiatives of the partnership include:
- Community outreach: Organising community events and workshops to raise awareness about energy efficiency and safety.
- Carbon monoxide (CO) safety: Raising awareness of the dangers of CO and distributing free carbon monoxide detectors to the most vulnerable.
- Benefits and entitlements advice: Providing in-depth advice to those living with dementia and their carers.
- Safety devices: Sharing information about a free gas safety device primarily for those living with dementia.
- The Priority Services Register: Ensuring all eligible older people are signed up to the register so that they receive priority support in the event of a power, water or gas outage.
- Home improvement information: Linking people into support service Better Housing Better Health for information about how they can make their homes both warmer and more energy efficient.
To access support, people can contact us on 0345 450 1276 or contactus@ageukoxfordshire.org.uk.
