At Burmantofts Community Projects, we know that fuel poverty doesn't take a summer break.

Many people continue to struggle with energy costs throughout the year, impacting their health, wellbeing, and financial stability.

With hotter summers becoming more common, access to affordable energy is just as important for staying cool and safe as it is for staying warm in winter.

If you need advice or support with energy bills, benefits, or household finances, our team is here to help.

πŸ† We're proud to be recognised for our partnership work in tackling illegal money lending!

Recently, members of our team attended the Charter Signing Event, where we had the opportunity to connect with organisations from across the country that are working to protect people from the harm caused by illegal money lending.

We were delighted to receive a Certificate of Partnership from the Illegal Money Lending Team in recognition of our commitment to supporting local communities and raising awareness of loan sharks.

This award reflects the dedication of our staff, volunteers and partners who work tirelessly to ensure that people can access trusted advice, support and information when facing financial difficulties.

Loan sharks often target people when they are most vulnerable, which is why raising awareness and helping people understand where to get safe, legitimate support is so important.

Thank you to the Illegal Money Lending Team for this recognition and for the incredible work they do to protect individuals, families and communities.

Together, we can continue to make a difference. πŸ’™
