How to contact our team nationally and around the country
If higher water, gas or electricity bills are getting to be a problem for householders, Groundwork's teams of Green Doctors can prescribe a cure.
Offering home visits and advice on energy, explaining how to access grant support for improvements and giving support on other environmental issues such as recycling, composting and water use, Green Doctors are showing people in target areas around the country how to make their homes more environmentally friendly and cheaper to run.
Green Doctor ‘remedies’ are aimed at reducing fuel poverty in the most vulnerable families. Their service can reach out to the elderly, the disabled and those in low income family households via home visits, whilst Green Doctor workshops are available for groups of tenants and residents, with information packs setting out a range of technical and non-technical measures.
If you're interested in developing a Green Doctor service for your tenants, please contact us.
