Work with us

We work with commercial businesses that have the expertise to complement our own and the funding to support our work. Our local presence, grassroots knowledge and relationship with beneficiaries helps businesses channel their support to the people and properties most in need.

Talk to us about partnerships

Social isolation

Many Green Doctor clients are socially isolated, worried about debt, or vulnerable in other ways. We are as good with people as we are with technical know-how, and endeavour to find the right support for each and every one of our beneficiaries.

As an in-home service, Green Doctor is able to identify other areas where residents need help.

We are regularly the first step in a process of bringing in wider support from other agencies and organisations for people who had been overlooked.

Fuel poverty

Government figures show that around 2.5 million households were in fuel poverty in the UK, even before Covid-19.

This means that many people are having to make the impossible choice between heating or eating every day.

Green Doctor is an effective and proven way to provide practical and long-term solutions for vulnerable residents.

Climate change

The UK’s homes are some of the most inefficient and hardest to heat in Europe.

In addition to the health and wellbeing benefits of Green Doctor, there is also a pay-off for the environment. Each home visit is different, but the goal is always to make homes greener and more efficient.

From small scale improvements like lifestyle changes and energy-efficient lighting to signposting residents to grant funding for insulation, every visit is a step towards making the UK’s homes fit for a greener future. 

What we will deliver

On-going engagement with beneficiaries

Our in-home visits, local knowledge, and grassroots presence mean our beneficiaries feel heard and supported.

Transforming living standards

We identify areas of poor upkeep and energy inefficiency and address things like mould and damp, poor ventilation and heat loss, making homes safe, comfortable, and more energy-efficient

Alleviating fuel poverty

We help residents to find cheaper tariffs, minimise waste, and manage their water and energy debt, leaving them with more money to spend on necessities to improve their living standards.

Future-proofing homes

Our specially-trained retrofit assessors start with a Medium-Term Improvement Plan, followed by a full house survey to provide all the information needed to help residents reduce their fuel bills and carbon emissions.

Referrals

Green Doctors have a strong community presence, with a range of referral arrangements with local authorities, specialist services and charities. Our home visits enable us to get to know residents to spot other vulnerabilities and make appropriate referrals to the right organisations.

Decarbonisation

The energy and water efficiencies we deploy in homes directly impact the environment for the better. As a result of our work and, in particular, our expertise in retrofits and EPCs, we saw a saving of 3.7M kg of carbon dioxide in 2019 alone.
