Futureproof Cumbria (previously Cumbria Action for Sustainability's Cold to Cosy Homes service) offers FREE energy-saving advice and equipment to help you make your home warmer and cost less to heat.

Our team has already helped thousands of households save money on their heating bills and do their part for the planet by using less energy.

Anyone can benefit from a FREE advice phone call from a qualified advisor to provide energy advice, and many people are also eligible for a home visit by an independent, trusted and qualified advisor to give advice and guidance in many areas, including heating, damp, ventilation and grants. Here are some of the ways we can support you:

• Energy-efficient equipment such as FREE LED light bulbs
• Draughtproofing support
• Help with understanding your energy bills and advice on switching energy tariff
• Referral to support agencies or for other grants

For more than 25 years, we have been helping people save energy in their homes.

Household Support Fund

We are currently working with Westmorland & Furness Council to offer free support for people in crisis or at risk of crisis.

We can supply:

• Fuel Vouchers up to £300 for those behind on energy costs
• Free dehumidifiers for houses dealing with damp and mould
• Free air fryers and microwaves to save on cooking costs
• Free heated throws to stay warm for less

This is available for people living in Westmorland and Furness who are in or at risk of financial crisis. If you’re facing hardship, fuel poverty or struggling with your bills, you may be eligible.

Our services are open to all, whether you're applying for yourself or on behalf of someone else. We're here to listen and assist, so don't hesitate to reach out. Our team is eager to hear from you and help you on your energy-saving journey.
