Lincs 4 Warmer Homes

 

Local Energy Advice Demonstrators (LEAD)

The Department of Energy Security and Net Zero has awarded £300,000 to fund the LEAD project which will deliver services across West Lindsey District Council, City of Lincoln Council, South Kesteven District Council and North Kesteven District Council.

The funding will be used to provide support to residents living in buildings that are hard-to-modify, and to increase the uptake of government funding schemes that are available for energy efficiency upgrades. The upgrades range from sustainable heating systems like heat pumps, through to external wall insulation, making a home easier to heat.

The team of advisors has been recruited by West Lindsey District Council and will be running drop-in advice sessions in targeted parts of Lincolnshire. The team will also be doing home visits to establish what upgrades are needed and then support residents to undertake the work. Lincs 4 Warmer Homes will also be working with health professionals to identify people with long-term health issues who will benefit the most from having their homes improved.
