West Norfolk – Warm Homes – Proactive Approach to support home energy efficiency between Health and Local Authorities –West Norfolk Borough Council

15th October 2024

Purpose: In this project, West Norfolk Council and the ICB are working together to support eligible individuals to access grants for home energy efficiency improvements.

Objective: The aim is to improve the health and wellbeing of Waveney residents and reduce the likelihood of hospital admissions or readmissions due to the direct or indirect impacts of living in an energy inefficient home.

Method: Data identifying West Norfolk homes with known low energy efficiency, will be matched with data on the occupants with existing health conditions, which are likely to be adversely affected by living in a cold home. The eligible health conditions are cardiovascular, respiratory, immunosuppressed, or due to limited mobility. Once matched, a list of households potentially eligible to participate in this home energy efficiency project will be returned to the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk. The Council will invite those households to get in touch as likely eligible to access support.
