The Health of the Nation: analysis of cost effectiveness and success factors in health-related fuel poverty schemes

[ALEO Admin]

SE2 Ltd and the London Borough of Lewisham are carrying out a research project to look at the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of fuel poverty referral schemes. The research is funded by Eaga Charitable Trust.

They have created an online survey and are interesting in hearing from fuel poverty scheme providers and managers.

There is significant evidence about the link between fuel poverty and health. However, there has been little research into the most effective ways to develop and deliver fuel poverty referral schemes.

“The Health of the Nation” research project will explore many aspects of fuel poverty schemes – from their objectives, to how they target support, to the services they provide, to their use of referral networks, to their costs – to try and tease out factors which make schemes more likely to operate successfully and to deliver value for money. We do not expect to find one answer; rather we hope that the research will illuminate a number of delivery and cost models which can provide useful insights to the sector and help inform future policy development.
