Helping people
"Before Health Through Warmth stepped in we had very expensive solid fuel central heating and the house just always seemed cold"
Working in partnership
Help us identify people with cold and damp related illness as a result of poor living conditions, and refer them to the scheme
Health Through Warmth
Working in partnership for warmer homes and better health
The Health Through Warmth (HTW) scheme was set up by npower in 2000 in partnership with the NHS and National Energy Action (NEA). HTW operates through locally based partnerships which seek to help vulnerable people whose health is adversely affected by cold, damp living conditions. This is achieved by facilitating the installation of appropriate energy efficiency and heating measures, along with the provision of related advice and information.
Clients are referred by health and other key community workers who have attended locally based awareness sessions offered by HTW. Vulnerable people are often the least likely to seek assistance but by linking up with existing community workers they can be more easily identified enabling practical help and advice to be provided.
People with cardiovascular and respiratory disease are most likely to be adversely affected by cold and damp living conditions.
